Birding-aus Members,

My wife and I have the opportunity to bird in Oz from Late July-late
August. We have birded in Australia 8 years ago taking a route from
Cairns through Mt. Isa, and ending up in Darwin. We saw most of the
expected birds in those areas that July, but are mostly interested in
seeing other birds, as well as those that have seen previously. Other
interests would include plants, mammals, insects, etc. We have an
airfare that allows us 3 internal stops from wherever we land. We are
thinking of beginning into Brisbane, then to Alice Springs, then onto
Broome, and finally Perth. From there we would continue through Sydney
on our way back to the states. We are hoping that this will not be our
last trip and that a southern route will be in future plans

So here are the questions for the group:

If we were to follow this itinerary how long would you recommend at each
of these locations? Would you opt for other places?

What sites within car range of the above areas would you say we must
visit?

Are there pelagic opportunities aside from the 4th Saturday out of
Wollongong?

What cultural opportunities might be available?



Thanks for any and all help. We are really excited about returning to
Oz. If there's any way we can help you out in the future feel free to
e-mail us.
