Forest near Kedumba Creek. I think it was while taking this photo that I picked up a massive leech. I saw it and flicked it off with my boot, but you just don't know what others might have burrowed somewhere intimate so when I got to drier ground I took off my boots and socks to to check my feet, but also my legs and even my groin, because I've had one travel up there before, cheeky bugger.
