Down here in Australia one can be a birder for a long time without experiencing a proper twitch. This was the first record for my home state of Queensland, indeed a first record for anywhere in Australia away from the north west area of Western Australia.

According to Wikipedia, the national bird of Australia is the Emu – which I have not seen yet. On the other hand, some websites state that the Laughing Kookaburra is Australia’s national symbol. It was among the first birds to be scientifically described in Australia.

It concerns the nature of wildlife in Australia, and is perhaps the most remarked about aspect of Australia’s wildlife, at least the impression you’d get if you’ve ever watched ten minutes of Animal Planet.

We are spending some time here on my wife’s family property right on the water. My Father-in-law had worked with the DOC here to establish a managed wetland here on the property, and it has been well received by the very rare Brown Teal. What an incredible place, and as a bonus, it is loaded with birds.

New Zealand had been good, Australia was incredible, and South Africa was almost life altering. This leg of the trip was for the most part all about my father-in-law. We have been dragging him thru every bird spot possible, so he could go to Scotland to see where his family is from. Where do you go from there?
