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.

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.
If you've made the trip to far North Queensland, you absolutely have to go to Daintree...heck, go there for the Daintree alone! And go on the River with the Daintree Boatman - you'll be glad you did!
Eungella (pronounced 'young galah') and Broken River are about an hour inland from MacKay...we highly recommend a visit...
Three hours north of Melbourne, these wetlands did not disappoint...especially in the raptor department.
