A few days ago The Doc and his friend Steve visited Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary<\/a> at Stroud New South Wales. Our guides for the day were AWC staff Elly and Josh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve’s main objective was locating live myxos in the field. We had success locating 5 or 6 species. The Doc located the first myxos, but they were of poor quality, but later he spotted a large fallen tree which turned out to be a myxo gold mine. Steve’s find on the rotting tree included a myxo that had only ever been reported in NSW twice before (one of those sightings was by Steve). It was Steve and Josh who did all the heavy myxo lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met with three other AWC staff that day on site, one of the land managers Matt and two senior staff on visit to the sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve and The Doc brought along morning tea and lunch, after an early visit to the Buladelah Bakery. Small thank you gifts to the AWC staff were also given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stayed at the Lady Jane Motel in Buladelah<\/a> for two nights as part of the trip, run by a hard working family. They are in the process of renovating the motel. The room The Doc had was great, but the newly refurbished rooms were amazing. It was a great stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The myxos found are still being photographed by Steve. Steve has a self published a book of myxos here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank to Australian Wildlife Conservancy and the owners for allowing us to visit. Here are some images from the visit. The Sony P&S camera struggled in the low light conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
