Wildlife Cameras

We have a permit from Parks and Wildlife to deploy 6 wildlife cameras in the Great Western Tiers World Heritage Area at Western Creek. The cameras trigger automatically when an animal moves in front of them. Some animals are only active at night. The night time videos are monochrome because they are taken using infrared lighting so as to not disturb the animal.

Here are some of the videos taken so far in 2024 and 2025.
