Fwd: [Birding-Aus] Fw: RFI: Mackay / Rockhampton / Brisbane

[L&L Knight <>]

A correction [I've just looked at a more detailed map].

The site I was referring to is actually Clairview [about 30 km] south  
of Carmila.  I did some birding there in 2001 on my home from Northern  
Queensland.   Clairview is a classic dry tropics spot for mangrove and  
coastal scrub species.  There are accessible beaches at the northern  
end of the town and mangroves and vine scrub at the southern end.
I don't know whether it is still a sleepy coastal hollow or has been  
taken over by sea changers.  It's 100 km south of Sarina a good spot  
to hop out of the car if you aren't locked into blasting along the  
bitumen.
Regards, Laurie.
