Cairns is one of Australia's best birding spots, shorebirds are outstanding here, with everything from Great Knot to Beach Stone-curlew.
We continue inland to explore the jungles of the Atherton Tablelands, haunt of Golden Bowerbird, Tooth-billed Catbird and the iridescent Victoria's Riflebird. An early morning cruise on the Daintree River may reward us with Little Kingfisher and Great-billed Heron.
