Gary et al,
I'd suggest if you want to do birding in Brisbane you would do much
better to look in the suburban areas. I live near Kenmore, in an area
easily accessible by bus, and have seen 103 different species in the
last year for a 1 to 2 km area. There are many other places with
similar diversity as well, within easy reach of public transport (if
you need advice, I can point you to a few).
Regards,
Chris Sanderson, Brisbane
