Hi Steve, et al
We have done the 'fly-in/fly-out', in Jan a few years ago. Facilities at the airstrip are basic, but quite good. If you go with PAr Avion, and have the finances, you can make quite a day of it, with a trip on Bathurst Harbour, and lunch provided.

Can't say whether you'll be SURE of seeing the parrots at the bird feeder/observation room (we've only been once), but we saw them within minutes of going there and saw 3 or 4 different birds, with one coming back quite a number of times. That was mid-season, though they should still be around.

Great little bird!

John Tongue,
Ulverstone, Tas.

Hello All,



We are planning a trip to Melaleuca (no not walking, but flying in and
out). I was wondering if anyone has done this before, and if so could
you offer some advice/information. Are there any facilities there? Are
orange bellied parrots really seen at the bird feeder every morning? etc
etc. Any information would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance.

Steve Ransom
