A LAST BIT OF BIRDING AROUND CLONCURRY

Red winged Parrots

Camping at the Oasis Caravan Park we awoke, after a night filled with the not so distant rumble of nearby road trains, to the louder sound of bird sounds. It would be a lie to describe them as songs; Galahs, Little Corellas, Red winged Parrots, Varied Lorikeets plus Apostlebirds demanded an end to any sleep.

The last bit of birding in the Cloncurry area was at Chinaman Creek Dam and very pleasant it was too...
