We did better this evening, seeing two chuditch (a small spotty predator), several tammar wallabies, more than twenty brush-tailed possums and a brush-tailed phascogale for a few seconds. The phascogale is an even smaller predator, and seeing one is a complete fluke. Glenn, the caretaker/ranger at Perup, has only seen three in seven years there.
We still haven’t seen a numbat, despite several hours cruising around the endless forest roads in the daytime. It’s lovely open timber country, beautiful with the blue sky above and fluffy white clouds scudding by. It gets old after a couple of hours though, if what you’re really here for is an elusive little termite-eating marsupial with a sticky-up tail.
