Hi John,
Have tried to reply to this but was at work and then saw Nick's reply. I
haven't travelled down Duck Creek road for several years so I would advise
paying more attention to his tips rather than mine.
I certainly wouldn't relish driving down Duck Creek road at the moment
(Currently it is incredibly wet in SE Qld.) however it might well be much
drier in October and if so possible to take a 2WD down there (I have done
so on numerous occasions, though I'm not sure how you would go with
rental-car restrictions.....probably best to avoid[?])
Birdwise, there are a few 'specialities', in the first stretch of
rainforest I have seen Paradise Riflebird, Crested Shrike-tit, Albert's
Lyrebird but these can also be seen in other areas of Lamington NP. Where
the vegetation changes to eucalyptus woodland you have a good chance of
getting Spotted Quail-thrush, Red-browed Treecreeper, Glossy
Black-Cockatoo, Buff-rumped Thornbill (and twenty years ago I saw Eastern
Bristlebird fairly close to this road, but seems little hope now though)
If you let me know your 'hit-list' for SE Qld (offlist) I will try and help
you out with other sites.
Tom
