Birding in West Australia?
Hi there,
I'm starting to make plans for a trip through West Australia late summer, and was wondering if there's more info to find than the (rather old) "The Complete Guide To Finding Birds Of Australia" By Thomas and Thomas. I know there's a guide of Perth and surroundings, but I'm more interested in the Kimberly's and the area between Broome and Perth. Anyone any good suggestions? Websites with info are also very welcome! thanks everyone, Luc |

The sites mentioned so far are great, I especially like the detail Frank goes into, pity he hasn't put in info for all the sites listed.
Broome Bird Observatory has a website - www.broomebirdobservatory.com which has a bit of info about Broome birds on it. I also recommend http://www.kimberleybirdwatching.com.au/ and http://turnstonenaturediscovery.com.au/ Some more places in the Kimberley http://www.australianwildlife.org/mornington4.asp Parry's Lagoon (no website) Kimberley Wilderness Camp even Kununarra caravan park is very good I've been told. On the way down a few places to investigate are - 80 mile beach Millstream-Chichester National Park Karijini National Park Kalbarri National Park Lake McLeod Around Perth Herdsman Lake Lake Monger Bibra Lake Lake Joondalup Bold Park Whiteman Park John Forrest National Park Mundaring Weir Lake McLarty Peel Inlet Lakes Clifton and Preston In the south Dryandra State Forest Shannon National Park D'entrecasteux National Park Lake Dumbleyung Stirling Ranges Fitzgerald River National Park Two People's Bay/Cheyne's Beach/Waychinicup Inlet
