I had some time spare in Brisbane, rented a car and headed out with the binoculars.
Birds Queensland and the Brisbane City Council have produced a very useful little brochure of good birding spots which can be down loaded <HERE>.
I headed north and spent most of my time in the vicinity of Nudgee Beach and Boondall Wetlands then headed west to the Gap and Enoggera Reservoir.
A productive day and I even found out which way to head for my next stop …
