2 Tour Itinerary Wildlife of Southern Australia In the open forests, banksias and grevilleas line the understorey of the Blue Mountains' open forests. The flowers attract the honeyeaters, silvereyes and Eastern Spinebills. Other birds of the open forest include Laughing Kookaburras, Crimson Rosellas, Grey and Pied Currawongs, Scarlet Robins, Scrub Wrens, Tree Creepers, Spotted Quail-thrushes and Striated Thornbills. Distinctive birds of the closed forest include the King Parrot, Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, White-naped Honeyeater, Wonga Pigeon, Brown and Striated Thornbill, Satin Flycatcher, Eastern Yellow Robin, Grey Fantail, White-browed Scrub Wren and Golden Whistler. Many birds rely on the forests and woodlands of the Blue Mountains not just for food, but also for shelter. Eastern Rosellas, Crimson Rosellas, Galahs and Cockatoos all need tree hollows to nest in. In similar habitat there are smaller birds like Thornbills, Scrub Wrens, Rufous Whistlers and Spotted Pardalotes. Woodlands have plenty of grassy clearings, which suit the larger marsupials, including Eastern Grey Kangaroos, Common Wombats, Red-necked Wallabies, Wallaroos and Swamp Wallabies. Other species occurring within the park include Koala, Echidnas, Brush-tailed and Common Ringtail Possums, Bandicoots, Spotted-tailed Quolls and Grey-headed Flying Foxes. Day 3 Sydney to Melbourne This morning you will fly from Sydney to Melbourne and the rest of the day will be yours to explore the world s most livable city with your guide or under your own steam. Day 4 Melbourne to Far East Gippsland Travel past internationally acclaimed RAMSAR wetlands of the Lakes District of East Gippsland, then transfer by ferry to an island sanctuary, with a thriving colony of wild Koalas. Whilst spotting for Koalas there should also be Echidnas, Wallabies, Kangaroos and a variety of parrots, honeyeaters and seabirds to look out for. Day 5 Far East Gippsland Travel into the rugged mountain forests of East Gippsland, where the diversity of the forests are the reason that wildlife is so abundant. Visit both dry and wet mountain forests, the famous Snowy River, explore where the landscape changes dramatically from sunny, dry slopes to near-rainforest of the gullies. You will search for lyrebirds, parrots, goannas, wallabies and honeyeaters. Common Brushtail Possum Day 6 Secluded River Estuaries on the Wilderness Coast 2 Naturetrek February 2016
3 Tour Itinerary Today will see us exploring a variety of habitats in just one day. These will include warm temperate rainforest, heathland and rocky headlands, as we follow a forest-lined river to its estuary. All the time looking out for birds, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, cockatoos, swans, sea-eagles and huge goanna lizards. Day 7 Snowy River After one last visit to the beach at the mouth of the Snowy River, we go to the Krowathunkoolong Keeping Place, an informative Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Bairnsdale. We also search for Grey-headed Flying-foxes in their daytime roosts beside the river at Bairnsdale. Day 8 Werribee Treatment Plant The Western Treatment Plant (WTP) is a Ramsar listed Wetland of International Importance and regarded as one of Australia's top birding locations. It is a mosaic of lagoons, saltmarshes, waterways, swamps, and both rocky and sandy shoreline. This habitat diversity results in an incredible bird list of over 280 species, with high numbers of waders, waterfowl and other water birds occurring. An optional tour with your guide is available later this afternoon to travel to St Kilda. Enjoy dinner in a local restaurant (your own expense), then go to St Kilda Pier to witness the return of the Little Penguin colony from their long day of fishing in Port Phillip Bay, and watch them waddle from the water to their burrows. Day 9 You Yang Ranges Depart Melbourne mid-morning en-route to the Great Ocean Road, stopping in the You Yang Ranges, then travel on to Serendip Sanctuary, which provides details on the conservation of some of Australia s rarest birds. After dinner we ll spend a few hours at nearby Mt Rothwell Conservation and Research Centre on an evening spotlighting expedition, hoping to see some of Australia s rarest mammals. Day 10 The Great Ocean Road Depart Geelong this morning, to enjoy some of the world's most spectacular coastal scenery. We follow the Great Ocean Road to the surging surf coast, and walk in the magnificent rainforests of the Otway National Park. We travel through Port Campbell National Park, searching for echidnas, wallabies, lizards and numerous birds. There will also be an opportunity to examine some of nature's handiwork at the Twelve Apostles and the Loch Ard Gorge. It is an area rich in the history of terrible shipwrecks. Day 11 The Great Ocean Road Naturetrek February
4 Tour Itinerary Wildlife of Southern Australia This will morning we will enjoy one last look at the coast, in the dramatic morning light, before returning to Melbourne across the vast grasslands of the Western Plains. Created by intense volcanic activity over the past 2 million years, the 7000 volcanoes of the Western Plains are now extinct, but the resultant savannah is pasture to a rich wool growing area. We stop en-route to drive to the top of an extinct volcano, with spectacular views across the plains. From the summit we see some of the hundreds of volcanic lakes scattered across the plains. Later we pass Lake Corrangamite, the largest permanent lake in Australia, often covered with prolific birdlife. We return to Melbourne Airport for a short flight into the outback town of Wentworth. The Twelve Apostles Day 12 Rivers and Lakes of the Outback Today we begin our outback journey, starting at the junction of Australia's two great rivers - the Murray and the Darling. This is a very significant place to both indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. It is fascinating to see so much water flowing through this semi-arid region. The rest of the day is spent exploring a vast network of lakes, formed where the rivers overflow in the desert. We visit Hattah Kulkyne National Park and Kings Billabong, often extraordinary numbers of water birds are seen here, as they arrive out of the desert looking for food and water. Day 13 Wildlife & Culture on a 50,000 Year Journey This morning we depart for Lake Mungo National Park. We head out to the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area, along straight dirt roads deep into the desert. Upon our arrival at Lake Mungo we begin a wildlife journey of walks and drives, allowing us to investigate the wildlife, including an amazing variety of desert birds, such as the beautiful Major Mitchell Cockatoo, up to three species of kangaroos, emus and much more, all amongst a fascinating collection of vegetation. We explore the saltbush, which supports populations of the distinctive red-coated kangaroos of Mungo and the distinctive Western Grey Kangaroos. During the day you will meet your Aboriginal Guide from the local Paakantyi Tribe, who will provide an interpretation of the region's culture. During our circumnavigation of Lake Mungo by vehicle and on foot, you will travel through four ecosystems, ranging from dry lakebeds to rich sandy bush country. Day 14 Today we will transfer to Mildura Airport, for our onward flight to Melbourne or Adelaide to connect with departure flights home or to continue with onward travel in Australia. 4 Naturetrek February 2016
5 Tour Itinerary Tour grading This is a birdwatching and wildlife tour that covers the very best of Southern Australia s fine selection of habitats producing a diverse range of habitats and a high number of the bird species occurring in the country. As you will be traveling across three states of Australia, equivalent to the distance of several European countries, there will inevitably be some long drives. However, we will be driving mainly on good, metalled roads with plenty to view on our drives. Equally, however, there will be ample opportunities for walking through the great variety of habitats, at a gentle pace, allowing the relaxed pace and itinerary of this tour suitable for most ages and levels of fitness. Weather The month of October, is spring in southern Australia, so the weather should be generally sunny and pleasant, although the occasional showery, windy day is possible, it will generally be quite cooler at nights. Southern Victoria will be cooler than the others areas we visit, with daytime temperatures ranging from 18 to 22ºC, but warmer by a few degrees in New South Wales and South Australia. Nightime will be cooler inland than the coast, with temperatures generally around 8ºC. How to book your place In order to book your place on this holiday, please give us a call on with a credit or debit card, book online at or alternatively complete and post the booking form at the back of our main Naturetrek brochure, together with a deposit of 20% of the holiday cost plus any room supplements if required.
