A 'TRAIL CAMERA' is a motion activated camera with infra-red lights for night time pictures. On 3 June 2011, a camera was set up to capture wildlife movements. The phase of the moon, temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, date and time are on the photo (using MM-DD-YYYY format). In the first week it spied a wallaby a couple of times and a bird. On 9 June, it was reset to try to picture the wallaby side-on.

After a sighting of a sambar deer on 27 October 2016, another trailcam was purchased and installed 4 metres up a tree in the golf course triangle on 2 December 2016. It was checked on 14 January 2017, and had many pictures of foxes. A fox family paraded for the camera on 16 December 2016

3 May 2019 - Droppings like wombat droppings were seen so the trailcam was set up next to the old fox den, and about 80 photos of a wombat renovating the burrow were captured over the next 3 days...

31 May 2019 - The trailcam was set up next to what appeared to be a new fox den, and not only the fox was sighted but a wallaby appeared more often...

5 August 2019 - I was advised of another wombat hole and found a wombat going down and half an hour later coming out. Maybe the same wombat keeping busy making new burrows.

7 November 2019 - A new hole had appeared in the far western woodland so the trail camera was set up and photographed a wombat on 31 October and a fox on 31 October and 1 November.
