Hi,

Does anybody know of any pelagics being run out of either Western Australia or Queensland, I'll be in Australia in July and August this year.

Cheers,

Australian pelagic trips tend to be few and far between - trips might not occur in a given month, or might be booked and get cancelled at the last minute because of bad weather.

There are trips from Southport but they are tricky to get on. I'll dig out the contact details later
Not a true pelagic but Seastar go out to a seabird colony in the Great Barrier Reef -just been on the trip today as it happens:

Bird Watching at Michaelmas Cay | Seastar Cruises

Bird Watching at Michaelmas Cay as one of the most important seabird nesting sites in the Great Barrier Reef. If you love birds, a must see!

This is the current WA option I believe:

While the website doesn't appear to have been updated for a little while that is still Paul's contact details - I think you have to email rather than use the phone numbers.

I'd forgotten about the Sunshine Coast trips also in Queensland:

Several times each year, pelagic birdwatching trips to look for seabirds are organised by local birders. We depart from Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast and head east to the continental shelf NE of…
