Over the NYE long weekend, I spent time birding, eating & drinking with
Stuart Dashper, Susan Myers, Cecilia & Scott Chandry in the area around
Carlisle State Park, northern Otway Ranges, SW Victoria.
Big highlights were the very accessible Platypus (Ornithorhynchus
anatinus) with up to 5 seen one morning, the generally good range of
forest & heathland birds, etc. Other highlights were the Domain Chandon
bubbly, the okonomi yaki, and the relaxing atmosphere!
