Australian Little Bittern
Wandering Whistling-ducks
Agile Wallaby

Agile Wallabies
Yungaburra area
Spotted Harrier
Grey-headed Robins
A lot of the Australasian robins we saw habitually cling sideways on tree trunks. The endemic Grey-headed was a classic example. Odd innit?
Australian Brush-turkey
Scrubwren species (not sure if Atherton or Large-billed or something in between?)
This is a fungus which looks like paint (I forget its name)
Between Jabiru and Rose Gums we met up with the unbelievably knowledgable Alan Gillanders (of Alan's Wildlife Tours) at the Platypus Viewing Platform and explored the area, seeing such wonderful birds as the Golden Bowerbird near the bower.
Parrots at Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat
King Parrots
Rainbow Lorikeets
Parrots coming to the amazing feeders on the balcony of this wonderful site set in the heart of the forest. Meanwhile, a Musky Rat-kangaroo was trying to dodge Australian Brush-turkeys on the feeders on the other side.
