 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...

 Now wending our way home to Melbourne via the coast and then the outback - woohoo! Our last two major birding destinations before we left the Wet Tropics were the TYTO Wetlands in Ingham and the Townsville Common...this is how they worked out for us. The crimson finch is a clue...
 We were very lucky to see not one but three juvenile southern cassowaries on our day trip to Cape Tribulation.
 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...
 From Roma we took the road less travelled and had an amazing drive through the aptly-named Arcadia Valley, with a lunch stop at Lake Nuga Nuga...it was well worth the diversion, and a few kilometres of dirt road!
 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!
