Brisbane and O'Reilly's |
|||||||||||||||||
O'Reilly's is simply fabulous, and richly deserves its reputation as one of the world's best birdwatching lodges.We spend the whole day exploring the network of trails. The area is well known for the excellent opportunities to see a range of rainforest 'specials' - including Noisy Pitta, Green Catbird, and Logrunner. This is bowerbird country, with the stunning Regent Bowerbird a fitting emblem for the lodge, and the dark blue Satin Bowerbird that loves to adorn its bower with bright blue objects - both are ridiculously easy to see as they come to the feeding areas - and may even perch on you! The feeding areas here also attract hordes of colourful parrots during the day, with Sugar Gliders and other mammals, including abundant Red-necked Pademelons at night. Two of the local rainforest specialities are Albert's Lyrebird - we had superb views of a female on our last visit - and Paradise Riflebird. At slightly lower elevations can be found dry eucalypt forest, with a new range of species including the delightful Pretty-faced Wallaby.
