I spent a few days in Lamington NP in may 97 and asked
the people in the information centre near O'Reilly's what my best chances were
for Alberts Lyrebird. They said they'd seen one years ago on the track leading
from the parking area here to the beech forest. We started walking this track
late afternoon and believe it or not, after about 1 km we found a male Alberts
Lyrebird scratching around in the leaflitter. We had excellent views for about
three minutes after which it disappeared into the darkening forest as it was
close to sunset.
