On the first trip in 2012 we used public transport to get there and the train conveniently gets you to Macarthur Square shopping centre and you can then get a bus that drops you right at the entrance to the park. We also had Eastern Whipbirds hopping along the edge of the road tossing the leaf litter about in search of food.

It turns out that the reclaimed mines work well as habitat for the sparrow because they collect a layer of leaf litter, a key nesting requirement. I was particularly sad to see the decline of Henslow’s Sparrow, a bird I saw for the first time in the reclaimed surface mine grasslands of western Pennsylvania.

With no prior training they can make hooks from straight pieces of wire to obtain out-of-reach food. Tika and her longtime mate, Kobuk, had raised eight litters of puppies together and were enjoying their retirement years in the home of my friend, Anne. They get much of their food using tools, and they do this better than chimpanzees.

I would recommend this if you are going to be out and about and most stations have regular trains all day including Sundays. If you are going to a small place you do need to check that you are not getting on a train with “limited stops” or you will end up back-tracking! The gully was really quite steep in places.

There was no sound of the bird calling, but we came across several pairs busy turning over the leaf litter to find food. We then decided to challenge ourselves to the Lyrebird Track, followed by the Link Track and Bellview Terrace to complete a loop to return to the entrance and then the train station.
