Some years back, in very dry conditions, we went to an O'Reilly's
Bird Week, including a 4WD trip down Duck Creek Road - my chief memory
is of Glossy Black Cockatoos in some dry woodland with casuarinas.
Always the possibility that you might find some other birders there
at the same time who might also be interested. But last year's
appalling floods and this year's very heavy rain will have severely
damaged all tracks.
Are you camping or staying at guest-house? If the latter you may find
good bird-walks available. Ask them.
Hope you see the Noisy Pitta. We missed it. We did get Albert
Lyrebird and a Marbled Frogmouth, and more bowerbirds (Regent and
Satin)than you could shake a stick at.

Hello all,
I am a UK birder and will be birding Lamington N.P. in October of this year. I will be staying at
O’Reilly’s ( of course!) and have been told that a 4wd is advisable for Duck Creek Road. The people
at O’Reilly’s however , have said that the road is in very poor condition and may not even be
passable at all during October. I see no point in going to the additional ( and substantial) extra expense of a
4wd if I can’t access the road at all. Does anyone know if the species particularly found there are
accessible elsewhere around the lodge and , if so, can they be accessed by a 2wd vehicle?
If the reply is too boring for most list members, please reply off-list!!
Many thanks.
John.
