Mike, when you are crossing the "Nullarbor", make sure you do a side
trip up to Cook. That takes you into the real Nullarbor and you have
a chance of flushing a Nullarbor Quail Thrush or two. The Indian
Pacific calls into Cook, so if you get your timing right, you can see
it in the wild.

If you are travelling between WA & NSW, I suggest you spend a few
days at
the Eyre Bird Observatory (below the coastalescarpment), near
Cocklebiddy
(about 250 km west of the WA/SA border). You'll see a broad range of
mallee
woodland birds, coastal dune species, seabirds and waders within
walking
distance of the observatory. More arid-zone bird species will be
seen on the
open tablelands above the coastal escarpment.
You will need to inform the observatory warden beforehand of your
intended
arrival. Contact details can be found on Eyre's website:

Hi Mike,
If you are currently confused by waders, I would doubly recommend
ending up
at the Broome Bird Observatory. Not only are there great birds like
Yellow
Chat on their doorstep, but you can do a tour where they show you
the waders
and teach you how to identify them. It really is the best place in
the
whole country to learn.
Regards,
Chris

Hello,
My wife & I are about to caravan to NSW from WA & we`re
wanting
current information as to where the best birding areas are?? We`re
going
throughout the state.A LIST OF THE BEST 5-8 would be great.We are
interested
in all sorts but trend away from waders as they make it so
confusing....we`re reasonably new at it
After all the rain in western NSW how soon would birds go out there
to
breed etc??
Looking forward to your replies & thank you in anticipation
Regards Mike & Marilyn Overheu
