I decided to take a leaf out of Rick Nash's book and head away for the week-end. Dandabah Village, Bunya Mountains is roughly 200km north-west of Brisbane and an interesting drive.

This place really is the perfect place for a weekend getaway and a great place to watch or photograph birds.Two new ticks for the week-end Yellow Thornbill and Blue bonnet Parrot.
These were all taken just walking around the camp site.
It's probably between the Satin Bowerbird, Pied Cormorant and the Pied Currawong as to who has the most attractive eyes of any bird.
Crimson Rosella. A wild bird but so used to humans almost unafraid of you now.
Very common around the camp-site are these Satin Bower birds.Immature or female?
First tick for the week-end a Yellow Thornbill.
Red-Browed Finch.
Lewin's Honeyeater.
An Eastern Yellow Robin.
Beautiful set of shots there John.
Am itching to get up your way for these fabulous birds.
Lewins is my fave.
Amazing Photos! You capture them really well and the eyes stand out beautifully on Satin Bowerbird and the Pied Currawong.

Really like your currawong photo. The bowerbird is spectacular.
