Hi All,
Each year since 2010 I've organised 5 or 6 pelagic trips out of
Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania. I plan to do the same again in 2015. These
will operate as Birdlife Australia activities. While we don't insist on
it, it therefore helps if you are a member of Birdlife Australia.
At present there are trips scheduled for the following dates:
Sunday 15 February 2015
Saturday 18 July and Sunday 19 July 2015
Saturday 12 September and Sunday 13 September 2015
I am currently taking bookings for all of the above if anyone wishes to
register an interest. As the boat often fills quite rapidly there is a
waiting list established when a trip is fully booked because, for
various reasons, we have people who have to pull out. The cost of the
boat trip is in the order of $125, depending on the number of people on
the boat - it is dearer if we don't fill the boat as the hire cost is
divided between the sea-birders. Because participants come from a
variety of locations and many interstate visitors make a weekend or more
of it, participants organize their own accommodation and transport to
Eaglehawk Neck (about an hour from Hobart). The east coast of Tasmania
is unusual because boat trips get out in weather conditions that would
be considered extreme in many other places such as Port Fairy/Portland,
Vic (where I have a bit of experience). The land mass of Tasmania itself
provides lots of protection for the east coast waters and the boat gets
out most times - quite safely. If you want to know what birds we see off
Eaglehawk Neck, trip reports have been consistently posted to
Birding-Aus. You can search in the archives at
