Hi Laurie
A good place to start for a map is google maps. Portland Roads is small
and there is limited accommodation. This is where tours often stay. It
is close to chilli beach where Palm Cockatoo can possibly be seen if you
haven't got it by then but it is common in other areas further north. A
common place for Fawn-breasted Bowerbird is also close to there near the
chili beach turn-off. There is accommodation at the airport in the form
of cabins and it is not far from the smugglers tree ( a few kms drive)
but you need to head out to the road for general birding as there is not
much vegetation around the accommodation. Cook's Hutas mentioned by
Laurie is a good place to bird. I camped one campsite back(rainforest)
and which is only a few hundred meters away and also got everything
walking the road and visiting campsites and it has better creek access.
There was a riflebird perch near where the walking track crosses the
creek near the rainforest campsite.The stretch of road for a couple of
km's where the campsites are is where you will get most things so you
will have to drive back if you stay at Portland Roads.
As mentioned by Jon, Lockart River has alcohol restrictions but you are
ok on the main road and in the park.
Overall everything is reasonably close but from memory it's about 20
mins from the birding area near cook's hut etc to Portland Roads.
Cheers
Dan Blunt
