Birds at Bloomsbury

A visit to Cliff and Marj’s place is always lovely. The bushland setting is great as are the birds that visit. The blue-winged kookaburra is not one of Marj’s favourites due to his hunting ofBaca lagi
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 paidBaca lagi
Birds at Bowen

This stop was a farm stay within easy reach of Bowen. We had visited Bowen before but this time stayed a little longer in the area. Usually it was a lunch stop. I really loved the lagoon.

Now I had never wanted to stay in Townsville but we decided to give it a shot. The walks around Ross River are a credit to this town and, of course, the take off point for Magnetic Island. Be preparedBaca lagi

Now this place had been on my list for some time. It was a magical place but we had to cope with the leeches. The birds I found more than made up for the leeches, a few of which were only found inBaca lagi

Our last visit to Elim Beach had me discovering quite a few visiting shorebirds. It was not quite so busy this time. I really had to hunt the environment to find any. I was rather disappointed butBaca lagi

Leichardt Falls & the Birds There
