There were not many animals in the area we were studying. The only organisms that were not plants were volvoxs (//Volvox//) and other microscopic organisms. We did see a dead bird which we were unable to identify and a rabbit (//Oryctolagus cuniculus).// We also collected some excrement which we believe may be eastern grey kangaroo (// Macropus giganteus) // excrement. Assuming that it is so it would be highly likely that it contained some roundworm (//Nematoda//) and possibly some tapeworm //(//A //noplocephalid cestoda//).

 * Swamp Wallaby (// Wallabia bicolor //)
 * Red Wattlebird (// Anthochaera carunculata) //

There were many plants and not many fungi. Unfortunately, our mushroom we collected decomposed and it wasn’t worth looking at anymore. We saw some Kidney Grass (Dichondra repens)
