Yeah, g'day Joshua
While we haven't gone to your 50! page report, we found your email both
interesting and enjoyable. Over the years, we have made much use of trip
reports to guide our travels, and regard them as among the most valuable things
on Birding-aus.
We are remiss in not thanking people over the years.
We spent about a month in the Atherton Tableland area, venturing out to
Chillagoe where we had the Chillagoensis form of the Australian Swiftlet and
the white Little Cuckoo-shrike, and up to Artemis Station for the
Golden-shouldered Parrot as well as dropping down to the Cairns coast.
We have already planned to return to that part of the world, and your email
gives us an added incentive. Going up to Iron Range was a possibility; it is
now more like a certainty.
Thanks also to Kev for his comments.
Peter and Bev Morgan
The conservation battle is never finally won; the development battle is.
