Lucky Duck!!!

I badly wanted to visit the Coorong on our Christmas holiday trip to Adelaide/South Australia. Unfortunately we didn't have the time or money.

Hi Australia

My wife and I are looking forward very much to visiting Oz and NZ for a holiday in Sept 2004.

Amongst the places we will be staying are Cairns, Adelaide (with family) and Sydney. Afterwards we are off to the North Island of NZ (Roratua?). We do have some pre-booked trips - Cairns Rainforest, Barrossa Valley, Sydney Harbour Tour, Aboriginal Village and a Maori Village in NZ etc. On average we will be staying for 5 days at each.

I wondered if you had any tips etc for a very new, inexperienced, birder who has walking difficulties. I don't need in-depth, thechnical data or a must-see raraties birding list. Basically, without seeming to be rude or offensive, I just like to know what I have seen! Any recommended pocket type guides? Where should I be looking to buy them from etc?

I will be travelling with a small pair of 10x25 bino's for practical reasons. Any tips anyone could give me would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Edrick,

My name is Joe, I live about 25km South of the Adelaide CBD. I could show you a couple of birding spots around here. I will pm you my phone no, so when you're here, give me a ring.

Have fun "down under"

Cheers
Joe
