We saw quite a few Kookaburras along the walk and heard Eastern Whipbirds quite often - we even got to see one on our way back! I didn't take the camera - although next time I think I will - if we have more time and better light (it was quite late in the day and I didn't want to be dawdling to take photos).

I believe that it is an excellent birding area with some interesting birds to be seen. Did you see any birds? Did you take any photos? Next time we visit you will have to take us on that walk.
