Subject: Broomfield Swamp.....Atherton Tablelandss.
Michaels comments on Broomfield swamp brought back many memories for me
also..................my wife and I were there last year touring with the
caravan,using Mila Mila as a base, and decided to go out to Broomfield
after reading about the incoming Brolgas and Sarus Cranes roosting there
in the evening in some of the local promotional literature put out to
promote the Atherton Tablelands.
Whilst waiting at the laybye site the temperature grew progressively
colder, and I kept nipping back into the car to find extra clothing to put
on................then as the sky darkened with the onset of dusk a
honking could be heard and then there they were..............wheeling
across the sky dropping at all angles, honking, more and more by the
minute, just where all the birds come from is anyones guess ( Spending
three weeks on the Atherton Tablelands I never found Brolgas anywhere is
quantity but here they were in their hundreds if not
thousands...................fascinating.)
I kept snapping away until the light said...enough.................Colder
but with a warm glow in my heart I climbed back into the
car...........what a wonderful experience.
David Simpson.
