Hello all [again],
My name is Ken Cross and I am a keen naturalist / birder and I'm in the
process of planning my xmas break and obviously my preference is to go
somewhere new which has the possibility of new and interesting fauna. I am
hoping that someone, preferably in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne or on the south
island of New
Zealand, would like to swap homes and car for a 3 -4 week period over the
xmas school holidays.
My house is located in south east Queensland on the Sunshine Coast
hinterland, some 100km from Brisbane airport and about 25km to Maroochydore
beach. Adjacent to my home is Mapleton Falls National Park and Mapleton
Forestry, two excellent areas for birding. Highlights include Satin and
Regent Bowerbirds, Yellow tailed B Cockatoos, Golden Whistlers etc etc. On
my half acre we have a list of just over 100 species. I have a marbled
frogmouth site about 2 km away. The entire area of south east queensland and
a great variety of birding possibilities are within reach . My home is quite
big; 4 bedrooms, 3 loungerooms, 2 bathrooms and study. My car is a Toyota
Camry stationwagon. Lastly [and not without real significance] I am married
with two young children which partly explains my desire to explore
economical travel options!
I have a very good natural history library and i would be willing to leave
detailed notes, contacts etc to assist 'you' [whoever you might be] in
making the most of your se queensland birding holiday.
Please respond to me direct if you may be interested.
Cheers for now,
Ken Cross
