Terrible photos but I think good enough to confirm a positive ID. Very exciting to see this bird scratching around the forest floor inside an actual cloud

Rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster)Observer
conal-tuohyDescription
The creek was quite high because of recent rain. I saw the animal swimming in the stream only a couple of metres from where I was crouching on a large rock in the stream while trying to take a photo of a water dragon. The rakali had quite a chubby build, very dark fur, and a long pointed tail with a white end. It swam very smoothly underwater into the dense vegetation overhanging the river bank, and didn't emerge again, though we waited a few minutes.
