Where is the best birding holiday location?

Hi Cameraman,

I, too, would be interested in knowing about good birding holiday locations. I suppose it depends on whether you want to see a certain type of bird (e.g., birds in certain type of habitat), and whether your time and budget restrict you to certain places.

I recently got engaged to be married, so I'm already trying to think of birdwatching-friendly locations for a honeymoon. I'm in Brisbane, and, due to my work, studies, and budget (limited!) I would want to go somewhere close (e.g., south-east Qld, or northern NSW). I've been to the typical rainforest-type touristy places around Brisbane (Binna Burra) and now would love to go to dryer bush areas. "Dry bush areas" - Doesn't sound much like a romantic honeymoon, I know! But I've never been on a birdy holiday, so I think I should hit two birds with one stone.

I'm sure there are locations that combine good opportunities for birdwatching with nice accommodation. I think the Bunya Mountains have a nice variety of habitats, so perhaps I could go there. I guess I should consult my parnter (if I must!). If anyone has any other suggestions for me or cameraman, I would love to hear them.

Thanks,
Andy.
