Hello,
The third part of my upcoming birding trip to Australia will be in Tasmania.
I'd be very interested in any specific tips or sites along my itinerary,
and I would also be very interested in birding with local birders anyplace
along my way. This will be my first visit to Tasmania, and I'm really looking
forward to seeing it.
I plan to arrive in Hobart on Saturday night, 4 November, and stay near the
airport.
On Sunday, 5 November, I plan to bird my way to Bruny Island, stopping at Mt
Wellington/Fern Tree and the Peter Murrell Conservation area.
I'm staying on Bruny Sunday and Monday nights (5 and 6 November), and I'd be
interested in knowing of any specific sites I should check out on the
island. Just in case any Tassie birder wanted to have a night or two away, I
will
have a chalet on the beach with an extra bedroom and would be glad to have
someone stay over.
On Tuesday, 7 November, I plan to drive to Westerways, near Mt Field Nat'l
Park, birding along the way.
On Wednesday, 8 November, the plan is to drive to Cradle Mountain, probably
via Queenstown and Strahan, although I would be interested in advice about
routing, as well as any information about birding sites along the way.
I plan to spend two nights at Cradle Mountain (Wednesday and Thursday, 8 and
9 November), as much for the scenery and sightseeing as the birding, but I
would also like to know of any specific places in that area to look for
interesting birds.
On Friday, 10 November, I plan to drive back to the Hobart area, and I would
like advice on what route to take, as well as any birding sites along the
way. I have been thinking of visiting the caves at Mole Creek Karst Nat'l
Park, and I'm not sure what route to take from there back to Hobart.
I don't leave until the late afternoon on Saturday, 11 November, so I hope
to do some birding in the morning, somewhere in the Hobart area. Any advice
appreciated.
