The first thing we saw on arrival at our campsite in Neurum Creek Camping Area was a Sacred Kingfisher chasing a Lace Monitor.

There were Russet-tailed Thrushes wandering about the shady areas near the amenities.

There is a short walking track from the campground to Neurum Creek. While walking along the creek we saw a Red-bellied Black Snake foraging in the leaf litter.

Lophostemon Walk: Class 3, 750 m circuit.
After a short rock crossing over Neurum Creek this is an easy and pleasant walk. I guessed that Lophostemon would be a type of tree and on returning home I looked it up and found out it is a genus of evergreen tree in the myrtle family.
