We were up early to go on the shorebirds tour at the BBO (Broome Bird Observatory) which started at 7am. Ben, the current volunteer there took his 5 charges along with 3 spotting scopes along the track to 3 different spots. At each spot he stopped and jumped out to check if the rest ofContinue reading “21/7/21. Birds and Broome.”

20/7/21 Birdwood Downs to Broome
Al and Zita had managed to get in touch with the Horizontal Falls people. Apparently they have a mechanical breakdown with a pump but offered us a change to a rather different tour on Monday 26th instead of the cancelled one on Thursday 22nd. We’ve booked in for this so now we have to findContinue reading “20/7/21 Birdwood Downs to Broome”
18/7/21 Gieke Gorge and the Boab quarry.
It had been a noisy and mostly sleepless night in the caravan park. It only takes one group of noisy people to make the difference and we had had more than that. But we had a booking to be at Gieke Gorge for 9:30 so got our bones out of bed and got ourselves showered.Continue reading “18/7/21 Gieke Gorge and the Boab quarry.”
17/7/21 Windjana to Fitzroy Crossing
We started the day with a walk on the “Savannah Walk” before we headed down the road for Tunnel Creek. It was fascinating to see all of those bower birds pop out of the bush again once the campers moved out. At tunnel creek we changed into our swimming gear and head torches to makeContinue reading “17/7/21 Windjana to Fitzroy Crossing”
16/7/21 Mount Hart to Windjana Gorge
We had a quiet start despite a very early wake up ( compliments of the small noisy children camping next to us). Al and Zita had already gone when we went past the resort on our way out. We passed them quite a long way along the GRR just as we were thinking about morningContinue reading “16/7/21 Mount Hart to Windjana Gorge”
15/7/21 Mount Hart
There are four key places to take a look at while you visit Mount Hart. We did a little planning and came up with a route that would hopefully fit them all into our day. In the end we didn’t try to go to the sunset viewing area. Dolerite Gorge is north along the BarkerContinue reading “15/7/21 Mount Hart”
14/7 Silent Grove to Mount Hart
We had great views of a long tailed finch this morning in the campground and a rainbow bee eater was also quite keen to show himself off at close quarters. How lucky were we! We packed up at a leisurely pace and headed off up the track for the last 10km or so. The trackContinue reading “14/7 Silent Grove to Mount Hart”
12/7/21 A day at Mornington
This morning I went on a morning walk, determined to find some purple crowned wrens. I did find them, but photographing them was a whole other challenge. I also found lots of scarlet finches plus bower bird with white and green bower busily doing his housework. On my return I joined Trevor on the riverbankContinue reading “12/7/21 A day at Mornington”
9/7/21 Manning Gorge to Charnley river
We were leaving the Barnett Roadhouse just after 9am having bought 30 l of fuel and 3 bananas and topped up our water stocks and pumped a little more air into our front tyres. Galvans Gorge was our first stop. We parked just off the road in the little car park and walked in alongContinue reading “9/7/21 Manning Gorge to Charnley river”
8/7/21- Manning Gorge
We agreed on a start time of 8:15 for starting the walk in to Manning Gorge. The walk starts with a swim across the swimming hole, so it was a chilly start, but there was already a bit of warmth in the sun by then, and none of us wanted to be making the walkContinue reading “8/7/21- Manning Gorge”
