Hi Eric,
I've just returned from Binna Burra Lodge. Great place.
I had good views of Rufous Scrub-bird along the Coomera Tk in the site
mentioned by Barry Davie: 4 km down Coomera Circuit in patch of grassy heath
immediately behind the first rocky lookout. Other birds seen on this track
included Albert's Lyrebird, Noisy Pitta, Regent Bowerbird, Green Catbird,
Pale-yellow Robin and Logrunner. See trip list below.
Also take a few supplies, such as food and wine etc, which can be expensive at
the lodge.
Cheers,
Tim Dolby

Hi all
Am staying a couple of nights at Binna Burra soon and would greatly
appreciate any tips on best tracks etc for a good range of rainforest
species, esp some of the specialities like Alberts Lyrebird, Paradise
Riflebird, Noisy Scrub bird, Noisy Pitta. From past accounts here seems
the Border Track and Coomera Circuit seem to get a few mentions. Also
any interesting spots en route from Brissy by road.
Cheers and thanks,
Eric
