Typical Terrain

The Echidna is a mammal belonging to the Tachyglossidae family of the monotremes. It is the only surviving member of its genus in the latter order, together with the platypus. The echidna, along with the Platypus, are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes. The female lays a single soft-shelled, leathery egg twenty-two days after mating and deposits it directly into her pouch. Hatching takes ten days; the young echidna, called a puggle, then sucks milk from the pores of the two milk patches (monotremes have no nipples) and remains in the pouch for forty-five to fifty-five days, at which time it starts to develop spines. The mother digs a nursery burrow and deposits the puggle, returning every five days to suckle it until it is weaned at seven months. [Source: Wikipedia | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echidna]

White timber half way up White Timber Mountain

Track to the summit of White Timber Mountain. Keep a lookout for the cairn marking the pad to the summit on the right hand side of the track. This is a rarely used track so keep an eye out for flags and cairns as you bush bash this short track.

Looking South East from the summit of White Timber Mountain. Due to heavy vegetation, views are less than panoramic.
