July: July has been a great month!! Especially for bird watching. A lot of the rare and special birds to this region have been sited, the Great Billed Heron's have been abundant, as well as the Backbitten and the Gouldian Finches. Every morning in our bottom Billabong close to the camp grounds is swamped by a large number of birds, which includes Jabirus, Royal Spoonbills, Great Egrets, Whistling ducks and many others. Our Resident White Morphed Goshawk has been seen everywhere throughout the park, even putting on performances hunting the Little Corellas in the camp grounds. The Fishing has been hot and cold, the start of the month saw a lot of Barramundi being caught majority all above the legal limit, but as the month progressed the cooler climate has made the fishing hard work! Coming into August now, the birdlife is still abundant and the fishing is starting to pick up once again!! Looking forward for a busy month!!! Yours Sincerely The Sarge

August: August on the wildlife front has been pretty exciting. Birdlife is still very abundant even more so with a lot of our migratory birds flying back up North for the start of the build up season. For example: Dollar birds, Magpie Goose and Sarus Cranes. Thousands of fruit bats have moved back into the river system to line the walls of the river banks, with a lot of the predatory birds hovering around the bats in hope to pick off a couple. There has also been a lot of excitement with our Northern Quols that were released here at the end of last year. There have been a number of sightings of little Quols believed to be babies, so fingers crossed the little guys are on the comeback after been decimated by the cane toads. The Fishing has still been a little slow but there has been some large Barramundi caught all up around the 80cm mark, hoping for it to pick up with the warmer months ahead.
