mammal and general critter hide outs in the Top End (N.T and W.A)

Euan,

Good luck. I cannot believe you've never seen a northern quoll! Litchefield
is crawling with them - Kakadu used to be. But there are heaps around
Cooktown - Charlie reckons he counted 28 one night driving back to his
place from town! N quolls are common in the Kimberley too.

They are trapping mammals at Mornington station from 1 to 12 August I
believe. Not that many mammals there but ningbings and long-tailed
planigales are two of the better ones. I hope to get over there for that

good luck again!

cheers

Dear All,

I am about to embark on a 2 month 4wd trip across from
Townsville through to the N.T and Kimberley region of W.A,
as part of my studies on antilopine wallaroos. Naturally I
am very keen to see the many other fabulous animals that
occur in this region as well during this period. Jon Hall
has already been a great help, but I thought I'd ask this
list collectively to increase my knowledge prior to the
trip. Below is a list of "the most wanted", if anybody could
please help with sites and tips for seeing any or all of
these species, I'd be most appreciative.

Ningbing False Antechinus
Kakadu Dunnart
Red-cheeked Dunnart
