Big Day Out [australia/01351589211]
(M)(L)Rainbow Bee-Eater
On our first full day in Port Douglas, we went on a day-long birding tour with
Murray Hunt of Daintree Boatman
Nature Tours. We first went on a morning boat tour with one other person, and
then in the late morning and afternoon he drove us to a number of sites that
provided numerous opportunities to photograph birds (and a few other things).
I took about 900 photos. The first six are from Ingrid's camera, the rest are a selection of the better ones from mine.

Australia: Granite Gorge, Fitzroy Island and Lake Barrine [australia/01353920019]
(M)(L)Tropical journeys
On our way to Cairns, we stopped at Granite Gorge, a private park. You can buy
food to feed the Rock Wallabies (supposedly it doesn't make them fat, but they
sure like it), and then take a nice hike over many boulders. It was a fun and
very scenic day, and then we swam for a bit in their pond to cool off (though
Jeff sunburned his back here). There's also a few more photos here from Fitzroy
Island, where we enjoyed the rainforest in addition to the reef snorkeling already posted. Finally, we have some
photos from our walk around Lake
Barrine, a beautiful lake inland from Cairns.
