Bird day
A quiet day for Graeme walking around Birdsville talking to
some of the local businesses, visiting another of the Burke and Wills blazed
trees, seeing lots of birdlife and lots of the Diamantina River.
We’ve quite often heard budgies when travelling but never
seen big flocks up close. Here’s a few
of the bird shots from today. He also sent an audio file on the phones but it won't upload so I can't share it - you'll just have to imagine it.
The Burke and Wills Tree is located approximately three
kilometers from Birdsville and is said to mark one of their final campsites
before they reached the Innamincka area, where the famous Dig Tree stands.
With all the rain, the Diamantina River is actually looking
like a river. This river starts near Longreach and joins up with the Warburton
River before emptying into Lake Eyre. Of
course, more often than not these rivers do not run or run for long.
He’s all set up in the campground at Birdsville, loving that
he can have a fire and looking forward to seeing his parents tomorrow.
This last shot wasn’t explained by Graeme but it’s obviously
a home job and given Graeme is always talking about upgrading from the
4WD/Jayco pop top van combination to a truck set up, perhaps this is a
hint.
