Barron River

Today was Xanthe first art class - she is on a six week sculpture class based at the Community Hall in Kuranda. The classes run between 11 -1230 so once we had dropped her off I took the boys to Barron Gorge National Park where they can have a run around and I can do a bit of birding whilst we wait.
The National Park is at the top of the Kuranda Range and as such was noticeably cooler than the lowlands.
The views from Wrights Lookout was spectacular

until these two muppets came along....

They had a great time, playing huntsmen and terrorising the local Australian Brush Turkeys!
The birding wasn't bad either - I think this will be our regular Saturday spot whilst the course is on.

Other than that it will be a quiet Saturday, Tish is on an early so we shall pick her up and then go for a swim before relaxing in the garden with something long and cold..

The garden bird list has been relatively static for the last couple of weeks, though there has been plenty of interest in it.
