It is free to enter Serendip Sanctuary and as you drive or walk up the road into the parking area there are opportunities to see kangaroos and wallabies as you can see above. You are then able to appreciate the birds of the woodlands and wetlands. You can move carefully and get some sky behind the birds and then they become clearer!

The bird life certainly changes a bit, with a complete lack of water, unless you are at a town, well, or station, as many of the ranches are referred to. Emus roam the open areas, and surprisingly, various parrots, lorikeets or cockatoos can be found in most any major grove of trees. The second half of our week was spent in Sydney.

Whether you enjoy hiking, birding or cycling there is something for everyone. There were many birds high up in the trees in the Perth Hills and it made for challenging birding! The picnic area offers good opportunities to encounter Grey Kangaroos and they are particularly large animals. Glen Brook Dam.

My trip wasn’t touristy but I was able to sneak off late one afternoon and early one morning to do a bit of woodland birding at a location called Campbell Park. As you first walk down the paths (or even park) the dominant species is not a bird but Eastern Grey Kangaroos, and lots of them. Campbell Park, Canberra.

Once again we have decided to head somewhere cold and not because we enjoy the cold, but because some birds like the cold and you have to get cold to see them! We also hope to visit Barren Ground Nature Reserve which is listed as a “bird watchers paradise” with 180 bird species recorded in the reserve.

It is these forests, and not the wetlands I have spoken of before , that hold the many endemics that make the Atherton Tableland such a rewarding place to go birding. Mt Hypipamee A beautiful forest part in the southern part of the Tableland, it is perhaps one of the most rewarding places to bird in the area.
