    One night here looking for a Rockwarbler.
    Saw a Black-sholdered Kite on the way here. Lots of road works and a few creek crossings with water over the road.
    Saw our first wombat, unfortunately it was a dead one. Mal pulled it off the road.Read more

    Had a fairly busy day with a few road closures, two dead wombats. One Mal had to pull off the road. We went on lots of back roads and were both looking forward to pulling over.
    Stopped at Capertee and saw the Regent Honeyeater mural. Such a great job.
    Didn't find the Rock Warbler, so have to keep looking.
    Got to see another mural in Taralga it was of a Superb Fairywren.
    Tahnee came down to spend the day with us. How lucky are we. Had lunch at the old pub and jumped in the sidecar.
    The old bridge is amazing.

    Went up the range then back down it again, then up the other side & down it, due to road closures. 400 currently cut in NSW.Read more

    Had a lovely flight over, but the wind got up...... for the return flight.
    I separated from rest of the group as I wanted to go birding not on a cruise. They left me some lunch in the shipping contain at the air strip.
    Orange-bellied Parrots were fabulous. I got to see quite a few. Also saw the Striated Heathwren, a Beautiful Firetail & some Dusky Robins.
    Going over we flew via the coast and on the way back we went inland so got to see some different scenery.
