No wonder this place has been used as a film set - Winton Wetlands is one of our (many) favourite places, and the wildlife and the scenery on this sizzling summer day were haunting.

During our quick visit to the Mallee last week, we spent a day at Murray-Sunset. More precisely, Pink Lakes. What a great place!
Spring has sprung so we decided a trip to the Mallee (and a maiden voyage for the Troopy) would be a great thing to do - and it was: here's what we found at Wyperfeld, Hattah-Kulkyne and Murray-Sunset National parks....until the rain stopped us.
Just when the weather feels at its worst in Melbourne, our skies and trees are brightened by the return of the lovely yellow-tailed black cockatoos. Here's some footage and pics of those we've seen this week...enjoy!
Our stopover in Bourke was just a one nighter, but boy we loved the red-tailed black cockatoos we saw there. This pair were real smoochers, and they were easy to find...
Yep - budgies, red-tailed cockatoos, cockatiels and, well, flies! What great birding on the way to and out at Winton. Thanks to all the great rain (and not great for many people) the outback is brimming with birds. Here are some of the the fancy flocks we saw...
We went on our first birding tour - and to Cape York. Here is what we saw and experienced, and what we think of the idea of a bird tour...
We were very keen to go to Carnarvon Gorge and much of it was great - other bits, not so much...
And so to Queensland - and it's still pretty chilly, but no rain for the last few days. Our journey to Roma has included excellent botanic gardens, new lifer birds for us - including red-shouldered parrots - and just loving those wide open spaces!
