Field Notes - Tried to shoo the echidna off of the road. It seemed rather displeased and appeared to be spitting at me but it waddled into some nearby bushes. Its size was somewhere between a side plate and a dinner plate. Mostly brown with some pale spines and some dark spines.

Field Notes - My daughter found this case of what I'm guessing is a beetle larvae. The bigger portion was approx as big as my middle finger. It was partially stuck in the hole you can see in the last image.

Field Notes - I can't confirm exactly the location this turned up as we've been along the great ocean road today. I found it on my dog a few moments ago. We got out of the car at Airwys inlet Port Campbell And lastly at Terang, not tick land I'd have thought. As you can see in the picture it's tiny. Greyish body, brown/orange legs. Found in my dogs ear.

Field Notes - Exploring the forest I found this guy scruffing in the undergrowth. I spooked it into the trees and each time I tried to get closer for a better shot it would fly to a further branch. I found myself almost lost trying to follow it.
