This #PlumeMoth species was previously last recorded in the ACT (as far as I know) back in 1950. I'd been thinking of planning visits to #Namadgi to look for it next summer, but I just found one in #NatureMapr identified (then) as Platyptilia celidotus. I added the identification and it's been accepted by others, so this record can now flow correctly into the #AtlasOfLivingAustralia and then @gbif

On Saturday I cycled from Canberra to Bendora Dam and back. What an adventure!
Bendora Dam is between Corin and the Cotter dams and is directly west of Tuggeranong. Deep in the Namadgi National Park, it's fairly remote. We rode for 5 hours before coming across anyone else. The roads are dirt but well maintained - until we got lost.
Getting lost meant that we ended up at the dam itself which was a treat, though we didn't get to see the reservoir. But to try to hook up with the original route we had to push our bikes for an hour up the side of a peak to Bendora Hut! With an elevation of 1300m it's above the snowline and, though there was little snow, it was cold up there.
From Bendora Hut we had a fast, fun descent to Picadilly Circus and then a whole lot more back to Canberra.
It was about 6 hours of riding and a 9 hour trip all up. There were plenty of stops - an echidna, an arboretum, ice sheets, river crossing, a lyrebird and of course roos and wallabies.
Canberra's a great place to live.
Investigating the dam also led me to this - an interactive map of the city's water supply. Very cool.

Over the weekend I visited the grainte tors of "Legoland" - Orroral Ridge, #namadgi, Ngunnawal country. This cave gave me shivers - how many have sheltered here, over how many thousand years?
