"This is just a 'heads up' to any keen pelagic birders to let you know that we are chartering the Bass & Flinders 'Explorer' as a 'one off' for the March 14th Sydney trip - it is a large catamaran licensed to take up to 70 passengers 30 NM offshore. It means that, if conditions are reasonable, we will be able to get out to the shelf quickly and hopefully spend a bit of time exploring the deeper waters east of Brown's Mountain where the bird life may be different and we may bump into Sperm Whales or other goodies.
We currently have 19 passengers booked for the trip but we need some more to avoid the Sydney Pelagic Co-op from taking a loss on the day so, if you can make it, it would be great to have you along.
The cost of the trip is $120 regular price and $110 for concessions”
From Roger McGovern
This should end up being a really good trip, and a rare opportunity to get out into the deeper waters. Myself an a bunch of other young birders have booked in - hope to see some COG members there too!!
To book, email
