Just a comment. The United Kingdom has lots of people interested in
birds with nearly 1 million (2% of the population!) being members of the
RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds).

Their quarterly magazine, Birds, has masses of advertisements for
birding trips but in my experience (up to 2 years) ago only a few from
Australian tourism operators.

My hunch is that advertisements by the Federal or State tourism
authorities - offering information packs about available bird/wildlife
tours - could help considerably in developing the market. (A web site
linking to the many operators who have web pages or e-mail addresses
might help too). 

UK residents are still a huge proportion of the visitors to Australia.

Hope this helps
