Birds at Lake Proserpine and Surrounds

I put Lake Proserpine/ Peter Faust Dam on the list as a place to camp. The reports suggested it was a great free camp but apparently not for much longer. Camp Kanga just down the road was a paid campground which we moved to when we thought the dam camp would be busy. Camp Kanga was a great place except for the wild bull down by the creek and the wandering cat stalking the birdlife. It was advertised as a flora and fauna sanctuary so I didn’t expect to see a cat. Apparently it belonged to the caretakers of this camp.
