Dismissed in a single post. Is this the result of the old Sydney Melbourne rivalry? We made just two camp stops, Port Macquarrie and Shellharbour, each for two nights. We breezed past the Border Ranges, Alberts Lyrebird, the gorgeous Regent Bowerbird and the almost impossible Rufous Scrub-bird. Towed the van through Sydney’s nightmare traffic without any attempt at the Rockwarbler and the Eastern Bristlebird.
The journey south has slowly renewed our acquaintance with birds that will be commonplace during our stay in Victoria, Superb Fairywren, Red Wattlebird, Blackbird, Starling and New Holland Honeyeater. We haven’t caught up with Kelp or Pacific Gulls yet but it won’t be long.
We crossed the Victorian border yesterday afternoon. We are camped at Mallacoota, our last stop on the east coast. The coast turns the corner here and heads west. This means a number of east coast birds will be dropping out when we travel on.
