Lake Indoon

10,000 Birds

There were only a handful of people camping at Lake Indoon on January 25th despite it being a long weekend for Australia Day. A Laughing Kookaburra visited to make sure we were awake first thing and was soon added to the 2018 Year List. Feral bees. Most of the birds in the area were well above ground level! Galah above our camp.
