Trevor Ford's website contains details of the birds to be
found in the Pumicestone Region, featuring Bribie Island and the
Pumicestone Passage, and contains identification guides and photograph
galleries. Trevor also offers guiding services in the area.
Birding Southern Queensland
Excellent site giving comprehensive coverage of Southern Queensland birding in particular,
plus many interesting diversions to all sorts of other places.
Also a great section on Qld frogs.
Cassowary House is a small family run guest house which lies in the world heritage
tropical rain forests of far north Queensland, within 30 minutes drive of
Cairns.
Cassowaries visit the garden almost daily, wandering in from the adjacent
world heritage rainforest.
The local endemic bird of paradise, Victoria's Riflebird,
has display posts around the grounds and often comes to the feeding trays.
Chris Dahlberg's Daintree River Tours
A specialist two hour dawn boat cruise for birders, along the Daintree River and through the World Heritage
Listed Daintree Tropical Rainforest.
One of the best chances for a sighting of Australia's Little
Kingfisher, with Black Bittern a regular in the summer months.
Fine Feather Tours
Fine Feather Tours
is based in Mossman, North Queensland,
adjacent to the richest birding area in Australia.
They offer full day, morning and Daintree River tours,

The last time I was out with Del, we found Little Kingfisher and Great-billed Heron in the same
morning, as well as a host of other North Queensland specialities.
