| Black breasted Buzzard |
This 21 day safari, designed by Ken and Steve, begins at the port city of Townsville in Tropical North Queensland at the southern end of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. We begin by birding the varied habitats of coastal Townsville, before making our way [much] further west into the Australian outback. The Australian outback is an incredibly diverse landscape; ancient, remote and wild. This safari, through a variety of inland habitats, will allow us to build a great list of birds and other wildlife. Expect to see flocks of beautiful parrots, nomadic Honeyeaters, brilliant coloured Chats, gorgeous finches and a host of raptor species. We will visit small outback towns, staying in comfortable accommodation, with hearty meals and country hospitality. The dry of the outback will be replaced by an oasis; Lawn Hill Gorge National Park - home to the exquisite Purple crowned Fairy wren. Karumba perched on the southern edge of the Gulf of Carpentaria, with mangroves full of specialty species, features next before a coast to coast journey across the base of Cape York Peninsular. Our safari finishes with lowland rainforests in Mission Beach [of Cassowary fame] and upland rainforest where truly Wet Tropic endemic birds and mammals still thrive! Our western travel will also allow us to travel back in time
as we will visit the Dinosaur Museum in Winton in addition to Lark Quarry; site
of a dinosaur stampede!
- Best birding sites in and around the greater Townsville ‘dry
tropics’ area, including the Town Common and Mundingburra’s Bush Garden
- Opportunities for spotlighting for nocturnal birds and animals
such as Barking Owl and Large tailed Nightjar.
- ‘True Outback’ birding in Mulga, Mallee, Spinifex and Riverine
vegetation

Itinerary in Detail
Day 1 - arrive Townsville O/N Townsville D
Today we will meet at 6pm in our nominated Townsville Hotel.
After quick introductions we will board our vehicle for a
quick introduction to the city of Townsville, before going for dinner and
drinks at a Townsville institution – Pizza Napoli or ‘Franks’. Franks is an old
school Italian restaurant famous for catering to visiting sports teams and
locals alike.
Day 2 & 3 – Townsville Birding O/N Townsville BLD
We will have two full day’s birding around the Townsville
city visiting a variety of parks and gardens slowly beginning to build an
impressive bird list!
We will most likely begin at nearby Town Common
Environmental Park known locally as simply the Common. Deep-water
lagoons, seasonal wetlands, coastal woodlands and sheltered beaches
bordered by rocky headlands all feature in this park. Mangrove-lined
tributaries of the Bohle River meander across the floodplains that fill each
year during the wet summer months.
Some 280 bird species have been recorded in the area. Magpie
geese, brolgas and many others gather here to feed and nest, particularly as
the wetlands dry out and food sources become concentrated in the remaining
lagoons. Even if the area is dry there will still be some bush birds to see in
addition to our first view of Agile Wallabies and, in the wetland hide – Roth’s
Tree Frogs.
Hopefully it will still be the morning by the time we arrive
at the Mundingburra Bush Garden; a re-vegetated area adjacent to Ross River.
There is a good variety of bird resident here. Expect to see a variety of
honeyeaters – Brown, Brown-backed, Rufous-throated, Yellow, Dusky,
White-throated and White-gaped. Olive backed Sunbirds, too, whip between trees
pretending they are honeyeaters.
Bush-stone Curlews are common as are beautiful Mistletoebirds.
Blue-winged Kookaburras should be common, too while, on the water, there could
be Comb crested Jacanas and Pygmy Geese in addition to the ubiquitous Magpie
Geese and Black Duck.
 |
| female Zebra Finch |
The nearby Palmetum, a small botanical garden specialising
in Palms, hosts a variety of species including some rare species over the
years. Here we will continue to add to our list and perhaps be lucky enough to
find some roosting Barking Owls.
A picnic lunch along the strand should provide both a
cooling breeze and good views of Red-tailed Black Cockatoos.
The afternoon will see us visit both the campus area of JCU
[James Cook University] and areas in and around South Townsville.
At JCU we should be able to find a Great Bowerbird and its
bower. Also among the open woodland we may find Lemon Bellied Flyrobin
[formerly Flycatcher].
In Townsville’s south we will look for a variety of wader
species as well as check out the Mangroves and adjacent scrublands.
At dusk we will position ourselves for a little change over
in the mangroves. A variety of wetland birds, White Ibis, Egrets, Spoonbills
will begin flying in to roost. At the same time Black Flying Foxes – thousands of
them will begin flying out to begin their nightly foraging. It is a great
natural history spectacle!
Post bats we will have a quick stop for fish and chips along
the waterfront before some spotlighting to try to see some nocturnal bird
species such as Barking Owl, Tawny Frogmouth and Large tailed Nightjar.
On our second day we strike south of Townsville to enjoy a
variety of habitats and their resident
birds.
 |
| Brolga |
Our route takes us through Cromarty siding, through Reed
Beds Road and has us exploring a variety of forests and wetlands. The wetlands
are home to a great number and variety of waterfowl plus Brolgas and
Black-necked Storks. Terns, waders and raptors above should also be enjoyed.
Some specialty birds we will be hoping to see include Black-chinned Honeyeater,
Australian Swiftlet, White-browed Robin, Black-faced Woodswallow, Crimson Finch
and Zitting Cisticola.
Around the fishing town of Giru we will explore some of the
beaches and mangroves there, taking care to avoid any resident crocodiles. Here
we have an outside chance [but a chance nonetheless] of finding part of the
outlying population of the Canary [Yellow] White-eye.
If time allows we may also visit the Mt Elliot section of
Bowling Green National Park. Also known as Alligator Creek, this small area of
riverine forest has a good mix of species including Yellow and White-gaped
Honeyeaters and a resident population of White-browed Robin.
We will finish early this evening as we will have an early
start tomorrow.
Day 4 – Townsville to Toonpan
Lagoon to Hughendon O/N Hughendon BLD
Today we truly start the adventure and begin the long road
west. Before we get too far down the the road we will enjoy some birding at
Toonpan Lagoon, behind Ross River Dam. Here is a great mix of wetland species
and species typical of the Dry Tropics and places further west.
We will hope for key dryland species such as Black throated
Finch and Squatter Doves plus Australian Bustards. Raptors are common here too
and we will search the Whistling Kites for any Little Eagles about.
Soon we will head further west, keeping our eyes open for
other raptors and the possibility of other species.
We will stop for the night at the Town of Hughendon and, if
time allows, we will have a quick visit to the local Dinosaur display of a
skeleton of a Muttaburrasaurus – a dinosaur excavated not far from Hughenden at
a place called, you guessed it, Muttaburra.

| Squatter Pigeon |
Day 5 – Hughendon to Winton birding enroute O/N Winton BLD
I think that the outback proper starts when we leave
Hughenden for the town of Winton. The sunlit plains extended are the key and we
travel across some 200 kilometres of them. This country changes dramatically
dependent on the seasons and the past rain and, at times, it is rich in
wildlife.
We will happily take the morning to get to Winton and we
will stop where the mood strikes us!
On approaching Winton we plan to have a tour at the
relatively new Dinosaur Museum.
After lunch we will try a little birding around the
outskirts of the town of Winton and we will visit the town’s sewerage pond in
the hope to see some waterfowl.
Day 6 - Day trip to Lark
Quarry O/N
Winton BLD
Today we drive down the Jundah Road and we will stop for
raptors, flowering plants for nomadic honeyeaters and raptors. Our major
destination is Lark Quarry – a fascinating historical site again tied in with
the dinosaur theme of this area of Australia.
Lark Quarry is the site of an amazing dramatic moment in
time millions of years old miraculously preserved. It is known to be the world’s only definitive
record of a dinosaur stampede. We will join a 45 minute tour that includes an
animated recreations of the dinosaur stampede - as it may have happened 95
million years ago plus a movie presentation in the Trackways Theatre. We will
also learn about the history of Winton's trackway discoveries and conservation
as well as see the tracks themselves!
 |
| Emu |
This dry and dramatic landscape has been created by water. Scientists
call this landscape “dissected residuals", because the sediments laid down
by ancient lakes and seas have been carved over the millennia by runoff from
countless summer storms.
The soils are easily eroded from around and underneath areas
of 'cap rock'. This weathered and hardened rock, resistent to erosion, give the
mesas their distinctive flat tops.
The dominant vegetation is spinifex grass, with lancewood
and Normanton box. Many small herbs flourish after summer rains.
From the lookout on the mesa behind the Trackways building,
you can see Mitchell grass plains rolling away to the west and Coolibah trees
growing along the watercourses. These are natural grass plains - they have not
been cleared.
Some species that we could hope to find in the Lark Quarry
area include Common Bronzewing, Spinifex Pigeon, Wedge-tailed Eagle, Red-backed
Kingfisher, Grey Falcon, Budgerigar, Rusty Grasswren [formerly Striated],
Rufous-crowned Emuwren, Purple-backed Fairywren [formerly Variegated],
Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater, Singing Honeyeater, Grey-headed Honeyeater, Chestnut-rumped
Thornbill, Crested Bellbird, Hooded Robin, Spinifexbird and Zebra Finch.

| Budgerigar |
Day 7 – Day trip to Opalton O/N Winton BLD
WE should get a very early birding start today as we drive
south through Bladensberg National Park to the area of Opalton.
Bladensburg National Park conserves 84,900ha of Mitchell
Grass Downs and Channel Country, including unique birdlife, plants and animals.
Impressive flat-topped plateaus and residual sandstone ranges provide a scenic
backdrop to vast grassland plains and river flats, river red gums and rocky
scarp. The Koa People consider Bladensburg to be part of their traditional
country, and the park is also important to the Maiawali and Karuwali People.
Skull Hole is believed to be the site of a massacre of Aboriginal people in the
late 1800s.
Bladensburg National Park is wonderful to explore in search
of birds, such as the Rufous crowned Emu-wren and Spinifexbird. Other notable birds include Spinifex Pigeon, Spotted
Nightjar; Spotted Bowerbird, Hooded Robin, Red capped Robin and Splendid Fairy
Wren.
Our main destination is Opalton where a variety
of birds have been recorded including Grey Falcon, Australian ‘Cloncurry’ Ringneck,
Hall’s Babbler; Redthroat; Rusty Grasswren, Splendid Fairy Wren, Rufous crowned
Fairy wren, Red browed Pardalote and many others.

| Grey Falcon |
Day 8 – Winton to Cloncurry O/N Cloncurry BLD
Today we leave Winton for a long days drive to the north
west, aiming for the town of Cloncurry. We will make a variety of stops for
birding and to see a couple of iconic spots.
Combo Waterhole Conservation Park is just south of
Kynuna and here we will follow the self-guided walking track to Combo Waterhole
on foot, discovering the story of Waltzing Matilda. Combo
Waterhole Conservation Park gets its name from the most famous of the many
waterholes found within this 49ha park. Did the jolly swagman camp by Combo
Waterhole? We will probably never know, but the waterholes of this 49ha park
offer a refuge for wildlife in dry times, just as they provided shady picnic
spots in 1895 for stagecoach passengers and the residents of neighbouring
Dagworth Station.
We will also have a brief stop at McKinkley, site of the Walkabout
Creek Hotel. Walkabout Creek Hotel is now famous for being
recognised as the pub in
the Paul Hogan movie “Crocodile Dundee”. The pub, together with other buildings in the town were featured in
this iconic Australian film.
The

| Diamond Dove |
We will overnight at the town of Cloncurry, a place most
famous as the birthplace for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Day 9 – Cloncurry to Mt Isa O/N Mt Isa BLD
It is a relatively short drive from Cloncurry west to the
town of Mt Isa however it will take us half the day after birding stops.
Our first stops will include Fountain Springs and Corella
Dam. Fountain Springs is a permanent spring-fed waterhole at the base of a
steep quartzitic ridge near the abandoned mining settlement of Ballara. Near
this spring we will search for honeyeaters; Singing, Spiny cheeked, Grey
headed, Grey fronted, as well as Black backed Treecreeper. Long tailed Finch is
a possibility also.
The Corella Dam was built to service the now-abandoned
uranium mine of Mary Kathleen and provides habitat for a wide range of bird
species especially waterfowl.
Once we get into Mt Isa we plan to spend some time at the Riversleigh
Fossil Centre. On display are fossils
extracted from the nearby Riversleigh Fossil Fields.
These finds have been depicted as dioramas and exhibited in an authentic
setting to illustrate the unique discoveries in one of the world's richest
fossil fields. Unlike many other fossil deposits, the Riversleigh fossils are
not just a snapshot in time, but a window on the development of early mammal megafauna over the past 30 million years.
Day 10 & 11 – Mt Isa Birding O/N Mt Isa BLD
We have two full days birding around the greater Mt Isa
region. We will target, in particular, two species of grasswren – the Kalkadoon
[named after the indigenous people of the Mt Isa area] and the Carpentarian.
We will also search for a charismatic mammal – the Purple
necked Rock Wallaby. Sporting a subtle pigment on their neck, the Petrogale
purpureicollis, blends in with the
lilac to grey stone escarpments of northwest Queensland.
 |
| Spinifex Pigeon |
Day 12 – Mt Isa to Lawn Hill Gorge Boodjamulla NP O/N Adel’s Grove BLD
A driving day to Adel’s Grove – our gateway to Lawn Hill
Gorge National Park.
Day 13 – Lawn Hill Gorge NP O/N Adel’s Grove BLD
We have a full day to explore Lawn Hill Gorge and to search
for the creatures that live here.
The park has similar habitats to those of the Northern
Territory’s Top End and forms the extreme eastern limit of the range of animals
such as the Rock Ringtail Possum, purple-crowned Fairy-wren and Sandstone Shrike-thrush.
Birdwatching is always rewarding at Boodjamulla. The rare
and beautiful purple-crowned fairy-wren can often be seen among the pandanus
lining the gorge, along with the buff-sided robin with its distinctive
high-pitched call. Waterbirds abound including the secretive black bittern.
Varied lorikeets and red-winged parrots are a stunning sight as they streak
overhead. The gorge is one of the few places in Australia where channel-billed
cuckoos are found all year round—attracted by the warm winters and
bountiful fig supply. In the camping area, listen for the distinctive barking
owls calling to one another through the night air.
 |
| Red winged Parrot |
Olive pythons and ring-tailed dragons are commonly seen
along with the ‘arm waving’ Gilbert’s dragon, also aptly known as the ta ta
lizard. Common wallaroos (euros) and purple-necked rock wallabies live amongst
the escarpments and hills while agile wallabies frequent the river flats.
Lawn Hill Creek provides excellent viewing of freshwater
fish and turtles. More than 20 types of fish occur in the creek. Freshwater
crocodiles also occur in the park and are often seen in Lawn Hill
Creek. Two turtles, the northern
snapping turtle and Worrell’s short-necked turtle, can be seen amongst
the vegetation lining the creek. The gulf snapping turtle, was first described
in 1994 from a fossil discovered at Riversleigh. For several years it was
thought to be extinct, until a living turtle—matching the fossil—was caught in
Lawn Hill Creek. This turtle is Australia’s first living fossil and largest
freshwater turtle.
Aboriginal occupation at Lawn Hill dates back at least
17,000 years and may extend beyond 30,000 years. The Aboriginal Traditional
Owners, the Waanyi people, know this country as Boodjamulla or the Rainbow
Serpent country. According to the Waanyi people, Boodjamulla—the Rainbow
Serpent—formed the Lawn Hill Gorge area and created the permanent spring water.
To the Waanyi people, Lawn Hill Gorge is a sacred place used only for
ceremonial and celebratory purposes. They believe that if you tamper with the
water, pollute it or take it for granted, the Rainbow Serpent will leave and take
all the water with him.
Day 14 – Lawn Hill Gorge to Karumba O/N Karumba BLD
Long drive to Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria via the
town of Normanton. Expect to see a pleasing range of raptors plus both species
of crane.
 |
| Australian Bustard |
Day 15 – Karumba birding O/N Karumba BLD
In Karumba we will target another new suite of species;
Broad billed Flycatcher, Yellow White-eye, White breasted Whistler, Red headed
Honeyeater, Mangrove Fantail and Great billed Heron. We will enjoy a boat ride
to get closer to these mangrove specialties.
Day 16 – Karumba to Georgetown O/N
Georgetown BLD
Day 16 sees us begin to heading east to the town of
Georgetown for a two night stay.
Day 17 – Georgetown birding O/N
Georgetown BLD
Georgetown has a reasonable claim to some outback birding credentials
and we will consolidate a few species in and around this town. Specifically, we
will spend the morning by the Cumberland Dam where there has been a fantastic
diversity of species recorded including Squatter Pigeons, Diamond Doves, Red
tailed Black Cockatoos, Great Bowerbird, Yellow, Yellow tinted, Rufous throated
and Banded Honeyeaters, Varied Sitella, Masked and Black throated Finches.
Day 18 – Georgetown to Mission Beach O/N Mission Beach
BLD
We have a long day’s drive today but by now we will be used
to it…..Our destination is Mission Beach by the waters of the Pacific. Now this
will provide us with a bit of a contrast to the scenery of the last three
weeks. The birding will be a contrast too as we will spend a couple of hours
birding in lowland rainforest and, if we are lucky, the we may come face to
face with a species that has become connected with Mission Beach; the
Cassowary.
 |
| Macleay's Honeyeater |
Day 19 – Paluma Birding
O/N Hidden
Valley BLD
We will spend a couple of hours birding in the Mission Beach
area this morning however before long though we will have to depart as we head
towards some montane rainforest on Mt Spec, near the village of Paluma. Here we
will find at least some of the Wet Tropic endemics such as Golden Bowerbird,
Tooth billed Bowerbird, Spotted Catbird, Bower’s Shrike thrush, Fern Wren,
Mountain thornbill, Bridled Honeyeater – to name a few.
Enroute to Paluma we will have a stop at the Tyto Wetlands
near Ingham where we will try to tick off White browed Robin and Black bellied
Crimson Finch.
 |
| Bower's Shrike thrush |
Day 20 – Paluma to Townsville BLD
We have much of today birding in and around Hidden Valley
and Paluma attempting to track down any species still missing from our lists.
About mid afternoon we will reluctantly leave and head down the hill to
Townsville for our final dinner, our final bird call and our final night
together!
Tour ends in the morning of 30 August at our hotel in
Townsville unless you are joining the extension [see below].
