Visiting NSW in April from UK

[Chris Charles <>]

Nick,
Your son will have no chance of missing fruit bats in Sydney  
Botanical Gardens. They have been trying for years to move them on  
but they persist.
If you are on Scotland Island then you may have access to a boat. It  
is a nice ride across to Patonga village on the northern side of  
Pittwater/Hawkesury. From there it is a lovely walk over the hill to  
Pearl Beach with great views & a good chance of seeing Glossy Black  
Cockatoo, Lyrebird, Origima, as well as the usual honeyeaters.
Have a great trip. Chris
