Hi all,
We have a trip planned to travel in the Simpson Desert early September. We
have nearly finalised our permit with the Central Land Council. Will head
across from Birdsville to Poeppel Corner then head north up the Hay River
track to Jervois. We may head back from Mt. Dare across the Desert on the
French Line if time permits. We will have a Desert Parks pass for the trip
also.
We last crossed the Desert in late April 2008 when it was very dry so I
expect the Desert to look stunning after all the recent rains and hope to
see some good birds and reptiles. Just wondering if you think we could
possibly see Princess Parrot on the Hay Track/Jervois area which is a little
east of Alice, or anywhere in the Desert? If anyone has done this trip I
would be interested in your trip report if that would be possible.
On another note, I saw my first Powerful Owl at our home last weekend while
spotlighting as well as 2 Greater Gliders and a Sugar Glider. PO was heard
here once before in June this year. We have also heard Sooty Owl once since
living here deep in the rainforest.
Regards,
Carla Jackett
