Hi Birders,
I was interested to read Gill Langfield's trip report of his travels up
through the Centre to Birdsville and back and to note the comment about the
advice he received from the "lady at the (Birdsville) Caravan park".
I would suggest that instead of only relying on the Caravan park lady's
advice, birders visit the Birdsville Tourist Information Centre. My son Drew
Morris took up a position of Tourist Information Officer at the Centre
towards the end of last month. He has a good knowledge of birds and has been
out and about looking at birds since he arrived there. He would be happy to
talk about the birds of the District and could offer good in formation
based on what he has seen and where. The TIC has a lot of interesting
material on many subjects (plus it is the internet cafe for the Diamantina
Shire) and is well worth a visit not only for its birding information.
Australia Bush Heritage Fund has recently purchased a new reserve in
Diamentina Shire, Ethabuka, located west of Bedourie, at the edge of the
Simpson Desert.
