Out-of-town Birders arrive in NSW

[Elias Elias <>]

Dear Birders,

Celia and I are traveling to Aus for a birding holiday. We have two
weeks beginning 2010-02-01. We plan a rough loop from Sydney to
Katoomba north through the interior to possibly as far north as
Brisbane. Thence south along the coast.

We would be willing to go a bit (12 hours) out of our way to maximize
chances to see the splendid fairy-wren and Any of the swifts:
needletail, fork-tail or swiftlets. So any high prob sites for these
taxa will be appreciated.

Also we are keen on an offshore trip. I imagine the only regular trips
are geared towards whale watching. Is one port better than others? Is
one vendor better than others?  Alternately good vantages to do a
seawatch would be good too.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Feel free to annotate the map below with anything we shouldn't pass up.

I've shared a map with you called NSW trip:
