Gooday all,
You certainly have organised a great trip. Could I suggest if time permits a
meeting with the locals especially AQIS personnel at each Island.
With all your combined birding knowledge it would be fantastic to plant a
birding seed amongst the Torres Strait Islanders. Even a presentation of
Birding books to the local school Library would build a great deal of
goodwill in the community and provide a spark of interest for the younger
generation.
I'm sure that a gesture such as this would create greater understanding
between the locals and visitors. This no doubt would pay dividends on future
visits with some community members willing to be involved in making your
visits quite memorable with an introduction to Torres Strait Culture.
