[QUOTE="podargus, post: 2937708, member: 109359"] [B][U]03/12/12[/U][/B] We’d made it as far as Bundaberg on the evening of the 2nd. Before leaving, we saw [B]Collared Kingfishers[/B], [B]Brahminy Kites[/B] and an [B]Australian Koel[/B] by the river in town, and there was a large [B]Black Flying-fox[/B] roost further down the coast. We made it to Noosa and decided to stay there for the night. There was enough time for a visit to Noosa National Park that afternoon, which turned out to be pretty productive. Firstly, we spotted a group of [B]Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins[/B] playing in the waves offshore and in the forest I saw my first [B]Large-billed Scrubwren[/B]. Finally, just by the car park, a crowd of people staring up a tree drew our attention to a [B]Koala[/B] – I was very pleased that I got to show my parents one during their visit. [B][U]04/12/12[/U][/B] Before leaving Noosa, it was great to see a fleet of [B]White-throated Needletails[/B] cruising over the river before they zoomed off inland. Today we were heading to Lamington National Park to spend a few nights at the legendary O’Reilly’s. On the drive up into the mountains there were a number of [B]Whiptail Wallabies[/B] alongside the road. On reaching the visitor centre, the numerous tame [B]Australian King Parrots[/B] and [B]Crimson Rosellas[/B] were immediately obvious along with a couple of [B]Wonga Pigeons[/B] and [B]Satin Bowerbirds[/B]. A [B]Topknot Pigeon[/B] and a brilliantly coloured male [B]Regent Bowerbird[/B] also flew over – my first new rainforest birds for the day. Heading down to drop our stuff off we passed some cute little [B]Red-necked Pademelons[/B], a [B]Brown Cuckoo-dove[/B] and an extremely confiding [B]Eastern Whipbird[/B].
