Hi All,
On our trip we were also able to visit Bowra, a few km north of Cunnamulla,
Qld, which is now well-known to Birding-ausers, camping at Gum Holes on the
night of 28/9/04.
On this afternoon/night it was very hot and dry (39°C or thereabouts). At
6.00am next morning it was overcast and pleasant but it did get hot again
before we called on our hosts, Julie and Ian McLaren, as we were leaving about
10am.
