Sounds useful, but what I meant was a guide for how to go birding with kids.
E.g. the best playgrounds for birding, birding locations within walking
distance of amusement parks, etc. It might have tips on how to hide your
optics from the kids in a small cabin, how to steady your binoculars with a
small child on your back, what to do when your kids throw rocks in a hide, etc.
The normal books don't cover these things. Do you know I saw my first gannets
from a monkey bar?

Someone already has.
Lloyd Nielsen's Birding Australia: A guide for Birders, is sort of
combination of reference book and resource guide to other sources of
information.
It covers the whole country divided into regions and has all sorts of useful
info: local and regional bird books guide and other info, accommodation,
dining, tourist site, other useful websites, daylight times at different
locations and different times year, accommodation guide, suggested
itineraries in all areas, outback safety and travelling tips etc. etc.
It's self-published and can be found at www.birdingaustrlia.com.au
I have no connection with the author: just impressed wit the amount of info
in there.
Paul.
