While exploring the city parks around Adelaide during the 2025 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year exhibition opening, a few of the more curious Brushtail Possum that live in the area came to visit. Being under the intense illumination of the nearby streetlights, their normally effective camouflage is rendered useless. Their biofluorescence explodes out from the dull browns and greys of the trees they inhabit.

Eastern rosella (Platycercus eximius) are a common fixture on Australia's eastern extent, featuring one of the widest range of colouration in a single species of any Australian parrot. They often congregate in small groups, flying in synchronicity between the many Eucalyptus spp. they call home.

The Common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is a small marsupial cosmopolitan to the areas of Australia covered by forestry. This includes many areas where their range overlaps with humans - meaning where their nocturnal activities may have once gone unnoticed, the introduction of artificial light has rendered that clandestine activity plain for all to see.

The Greater sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita galerita) is one of Australia's most iconic avians - ever-present across most of the continent's population centres. Along with their striking yellow-on-white colouration, their boisterous nature and often-obnoxious antics make sure their presence is noted no matter where you are - deep in the bush hanging from towering Eucalypts, or the city, tearing into rubbish bins designed to keep them out.
