Lawungkurr, a name given to her by the clan matriarchs is the name of a long-dead but still highly honoured woman of her clan. In 2000 Denise was contracted to work as interpreter/transcriber on the Lonely Planet's Guide to Aboriginal Australia. Denise also lectures in environmental studies for the University of New South Wales' summer school. Birders everywhere are going to love her latest book, Bird's of Australia's Top End. |

 For
the last 3 years Tony Wilson of Manu
Tours have been contucting birding tours in the "Austalia's
Top End"
Australia has over 750 recorded bird species, of which 320 are endemic, in addition to an amazing collection of mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Australia is a vast continent so we have chosen to focus on the tropical areas, which are rich in birds and other life forms. The tour is planned to be as relaxing as possible by staying close to the best sites and limiting long days of travel to a minimum. We will endeavor to find the specialty birds for each of the areas we visit. Our tour will take us to the Darwin area with its rivers, swamps and billabongs, home to the Great-billed Heron, Chestnut Rail, Black Butcherbird, Varied Lorikeet, Large-billed Gerygone, Rose-crowned Fruit-dove and Rainbow Pitta. We will also explore the wonders of world famous Kakadu National Park, with its incredible scenery. In the Cairns region, we will visit such diverse habitats as coastal mangroves and many of the different forest types. A wonderful assemblage of shorebirds can be found along the Cairns waterfront, including Greater and Lesser Sandplovers, Terek and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, and Black-tailed and Bar-tailed Godwits. Double-eyed Fig-Parrots and Southern Cassowary are often seen in the coastal parks. No tour to this area would be complete without a visit to the Great Barrier Reef. We will visit Michaelmas Cay with its thousands of breeding Brown Noddys, Sooty Terns, Bridled Terns, Lesser-crested Terns, and Brown Boobys. We will also have the opportunity to snorkel this magnificent reef. In the rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands area we'll look for Bush-hen, Buff-banded Rail, Tooth-billed Catbird, Golden Bowerbird, Bridled Honeyeaters and Atherton Scrubwren. Amongst the open country and wetlands of this refreshing area we have also seen Wompoo Fruit-dove, Toothbilled Bowerbird, Grass Owl, Sarus Crane and Wedge-tailed Eagle. Some of the regularly seen mammals include Platypus, Striped Possum, Tree Kangaroo and Red-legged Pademelon. LAMINGTON EXTENSION |
