Hi Julian
If you had time to shoot up the Strzelecki from Lyndhurst its not far
to Mt Lyndhurst station to see Chestnut-breasted Whiteface and Thick-
billed Grasswren. (perhaps too much of a detour but great birds!)
On the Oodnadatta - Coward Springs and nearby Mound Springs are an
interesting place to visit for sure.
Algebuckina Bridge (just south of Oodnadatta) is a great spot for a
bush camp on the edge of a waterhole with an old railway bridge there.
Tanami - Newhaven is worth the stop. Watch out for fuel prices at
Rabbit Flat!
Wolfe Creek Meteor Crater is worth a look.
Purnululu - easy spend a few days there. Highly recommend the
helicopter flight. Best joyflight i have ever done! (and i hate light
planes/heights etc!)
It all comes down to timing of course. Stacks to see and never enough
time!
Cheers
Dave

Hi all
I'll be travelling from Canberra to Alice Springs reasonably quickly
in a week's time, via Oodnadatta Track Maree - Marla. I'd be grateful
for any info on "must sees" or good places to bird generally on that
stretch.
Then across Tanami, Bungles, south edge of Kimberleys and later
Pilbara based at Karijini NP.
Apart from Newhaven and Broome (already on itinerary) would also
appreciate any good birds or spots from Tanami to Broome, and in the
Pilbara. (We won't be in a position to go to Mornington).
Thanks in advance
Julian
Canberra
