Toohey's Creek Corridor is the name of a series of tree plantings along a cattle grazed creek that runs between Gadgarra State Forest and Lake Barine National Park. This area has been planted to facilitate faunal (animal) movements between the two areas. Here are a few pictures from our adventures at Toohey's Creek Corridor.

While at the creek area we set mammal traps to catch small animals and pitfall traps to catch small reptiles. We caught a native rodent in one of the mammal traps, possibly a bush rat. A cute, but very noisy little critter.(pictured above)In the pitfall trap we managed to catch a few caterpillars and a one huge centipede measuring about 20 cm long. After collecting data on the animals we trapped, we released them back into the wild.
