Poolside

Last summer saw an amazing explosion in numbers of dragonflies and damselflies around our creeks and dams. This year there are already significant numbers of these interesting and important creatures. The Forest Creek pools near the walking track are playing host to numerous species, including: blue ringtail damselfly, Aurora bluetails, Wandering perchers and Blue skimmers. Photos of these and others can be found in our gallery

On Forest Creek, November 2011: we've tentatively identified this as an Australian flatwing damselfly, but would appreciate suggestions.
