Australia 2006: Daintree, Far North Queensland
http://wildlifeaylmerton-australia.blogspot.com/2007/11/daintree-far-north-queensland.html
Friday, 2 November 2007. Daintree, Far North Queensland. Moving on today and heading north back up the coast. After saying goodbyes to Charlie, Cassie, Colin and co we set off for Cairns, which, like the trip down was fairly uneventful (lots of sugar cane fields! As we reach the outskirts of Cairns a grocery run at the first Coles supermarket produces the first Peaceful Doves. Continuing north we start to see a few more Black Kites. A single Black-shouldered Kite. And a new one, Dusky Honey-eater. Were s...

Saturday, 3 November 2007. Mission Beach and Great Barrier Reef. Mostly travelling today, with a flight north from Brisbane to Cairns and then a drive down the coast to Mission Beach.

Cassowary, female 'Cassie'. Cassowary, male 'Charlie'. And juvenile, 'Colin'. And the stunning Ulleccess. Emerald Dove, Olive-backed Sunbird. Overhead&...

Australia 2006: Introduction
http://wildlifeaylmerton-australia.blogspot.com/2007/12/introduction.html
Sunday, 2 December 2007. After several months of pressure I finally succumbed to the families wishes to take a trip to Australia- the thought of the 24 hour trip there and back filled me with dread, due to the fact that I have never yet been able to successfully sleep on a plane! We decided to stay in south Queensland around Brisbane for a few days before flying north to Cairns and touring around Far North Queensland (FNQ) then flying out of Cairns for home. The itinerary was as follows:. View my complet...

Australia 2006: Brisbane
http://wildlifeaylmerton-australia.blogspot.com/2007/11/birding-queensland-down-under-with.html
Wednesday, 28 November 2007. Fly to Brisbane via Singapore. The dreaded flight really wasn’t half as bad as I had expected with 12 hrs to Singapore then 6hrs onto Brisbane. We had a four hour break in Singapore, arriving at dusk I could only manage Cattle Egret. From the terminal. We did take the opportunity to shower at the airport with tea and biscuits afterwards for about £4 all in. And Australian Magpie Lark. The later invading and near destroying the bird table! After dispatching cases and bags, and...
