Just back from an onsite meeting at this rather attractive little suburban
billabong off the Yarra
River in Kew (Melbourne). There more for discussion than birding, but the
place was lively (see
below). Highlights were Azure Kingfisher, Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo and
Fan-tailed Cuckoo.
Excellent views of some rather confiding Musk and Little Lorikeets too. You'll
find it at Melways
45 F1.
