Hi Everyone,
Just finishing my stint at Etadunna Station on the Birdsville Track. Birds
every where and most of them breeding. Great to see the desert in bloom - even
the gibber has a carpet of flowers and is very spongy to walk on!
A few people asked me to send contacts for Cowarie (pronounced Cowrie) Station.
Sharon Oldfield is the owner and can be contacted
She welcomes enquiries, but she just left here today and expects the access
track from Mungerannie to Cowarie (and Kalamurnia) to be in a very bad state4
for quite a while as the roads people give priority to the main tracks,
especially the Birdsville Track. More rain will make access around the place
difficult again and some is possible tomorrow (Wednesday) or later this week so
check the road conditions before heading this was.
I took a flight on the helicopter to Lake Eyre from the station (usually from
the punt) along the Cooper. It was a fantastic sight, but not many birds
visible from the air. We saw a probable Little Buttonquail as we were trying
to land at one spot.
Next stop Mt Skinner Station, NT.
Cheers
Elizabeth
