They took dogs to Australia, chickens across the Pacific, rabbits to England, horses to the New World, and then brought potatoes back. A housecat in Buenos Aires got its start in Africa, a sheep in Australia to the Middle East, a chicken in Ireland can trace its origin to the jungles of Asia. But hedgehogs? Greenfinches?

There’s a good mixture of both man-made and natural items on display in the bowers at Big Horse Creek and Katherine Gorge National Park. All along the eastern coast of Australia there are Satin Bowerbirds Ptilonorhychus violaceus. The male Satin Bowerbird is a large distinct bird that appears black or blue depending on the light.

This is an excellent trail that offers numerous bird species and there are rarely many people walking, cycling or riding horses along it.
