Easter campout??

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

All went according to plan as foreshadowed by David (thanks David).  Good 
attendance, 26. I think, and some interesting new people, not just the firm 
core.  Lot of time spent traversing Goonoo.  A congenial and helpful 
landowner (with an interestingly veged property, thirsting for a bit of 
rain), and the two flushing loos, in roughly the colours of a Turquoise 
Parrot (which was seen much more fleetingly), were an acclaimed success. The 
usual medium-longish, fairly predictable, species list but bird numbers well 
down, depressingly so, at the end of a long dry summer.  Glossy B-Cockatoos 
(about 20) came to drink at dusk at the dams we staked out, not being 
confused by reversion to EST.  As for the personally memorable moments, 
these will be suitably embellished and retold around future campfires, but 
the below episode is more or less as I recall it.
