Mount Hypipamee

Somehow this post was never uploaded so I'm including it for sake of completeness....

This was the first morning that Google Maps let us down and took us on a wacky journey through country lanes to a dead end, instead of the entrance road to Mount Hypipamee. So we arrived late but in the gloomy, overcast conditions it didn't really matter as it kept bird activity up. We saw our first Torresian Crown and pretty soon after found a pair of Golden Bowerbirds thanks to a tipoff from Carol at Kingfisher Park. A Hornbill Friarbird was also new and we ended the day at Hasties Swamp where Spotless Crake was a great find.

At night we staked out the mammal viewing platform where a Black-and-white Possum and Sugar Glider appeared.
