As much as we could see of an eastern water dragon investigating the machinery.
Skink eggs found under a log we had to move.
Mum watching - yes we replaced the log with a shorter one before anything could have eggs for dinner.
It did not take long for this gecko to visit, perhaps looking for a new place to shelter. For more about these lizards, see Gecko
We don't know its name, but it is colourful.
Train on the next span.
Francis came up for a visit.
What a mess! Then after some quiet chatting it was time to use the hammer for the first time that day - a loud shriek, then something jumping about below the bridge.
The frightened gecko had dropped its tail. Next time we shall build up the noise gradually.
This antechynus came for a closer look while we were working.

翼 Tsubasa from Okinawa came for a few days. The small trolley holds a box to carry soil or tools.
With a side wall off for repairs we can see how simple an electric locomotive can be. The battery and relay panel lift out, and there is room for another battery if needed. The locomotive body is still rigid and can operate without any one side, end or roof.
Steve came for a ride.
Most likely a noisy friar bird, thanks to Elly for the identification.
An interesting fungus (we think it is a fungus).
Averil and Tsubasa stop at the end of the second span which is ready for testing.
Here we see Averil removing the rope barrier at the end of the second span to allow the train to move to the end of the fourth span for the first time. First one passenger, then two, and the trestle still stands.
Last view of the project so far.
This possum also discovered the compost heap, or rather, he always knew but this time decided to stay and watch us.
Averil and Tsubasa try it once more before going home.
