Hi Ernie,

Just came across your message, we live north of Samford at Samsonvale (near Dayboro)
I actually moved here as the birding was so good 13 years ago! Unfortunately you are probably aware of the level of water in the North Pine Dam (Lake Samsonvale) but when it's full you can easily see 200+ species in the area.

If you haven't already seen it have a look at our website www.aviceda.org and in particular the ABID image database www.aviceda.org/abid

Thanks Tom,
I know Samsonvale quite well played golf there on many an occasion. Loved the images on your site.
I didn't give the North Pine Dam any thought, must give it a try sometime if and when it gets some water. Thanks again Ernie

Hi Ernie
One of our favourite sites on the north is around Bribie island. The centre, especially in August/September is great for wildflowers and honeyeaters. The bird hide on the Pumicestone Passage at Kakadu beach can be good for waders (we had a lucky view of Beach Stone Curlew the last time we were there). Then on to Buckley's waterhole for lunch and finally a diversion to Torbul on the way back (if its high tide) to look at the waders roosting next to the road. A good day out.
Cheers

Peter
