The sunset over Cumberland Dam near Georgetown was especially vibrant. Photo by guide Cory Gregory. The country of Australia is a vast one, with a wide range of geography, flora, and fauna. This tour, ranging from the Top End over to Queensland (with some participants continuing on to Tasmania), sampled a diverse set of regions and an impressively wide range of birds. Whether it was the colorful selection of honeyeaters, the variety of parrots, the many rainforest specialties, or even the diverse set of world-class mammals, we covered a lot of ground and saw a wealth of birds. We began in the tropical north, in hot and humid Darwin, where Torresian Imperial-Pigeons flew through town, Black Kites soared overhead, and we had our first run-ins with Magpie-Larks. We ventured away from Darwin to bird Fogg Dam, where we enjoyed Large-tailed Nightjar in the predawn hours, majestic Black-necked Storks in the fields nearby, and even a Rainbow Pitta and Rose-crowned Fruit-Dove in the nearby forest! We also visited areas like Darwin River Dam, where some rare Black-tailed Treecreepers put on a show and Northern Rosellas flew around us. We can’t forget additional spots near Darwin, like East Point, Buffalo Creek, and Lee Point, where we gazed out on the mudflats and saw a variety of coast specialists, including Beach Thick-knee and Gull-billed Tern.

Here in Charters Towers we welcome all those who wish to help build our future economy. Our region is a great place to live, to work, to invest, and to do business. New ideas, new residents, new investment, new ventures will drive future economic growth. We are open for business, and ready to work together. Our economic pillars - agriculture, mining, education and tourism - will continue to support the Charters Towers economy. We stand ready to build and expand, to diversify and grow, to create and nurture new industries and jobs. Cr Frank Beveridge Mayor - Charters Towers Regional Council Kilometres With increasing cattle turnoff in northern Queensland, the opportunity exists for a new processor to capitalise on the Asian demand growth. The two existing basic paths to market (via processors in south eastern Queensland, and live export) involve the transport of live cattle over long distances. The Port of Brisbane is 1300 km south of Townsville. Charters Towers is strategically located within the prime cattle growing area of North Queensland and benefits from its location at the crossroads of all major highways in and out of the northern region. A processing facility at Charters Towers will significantly reduce the travel distances for cattle processors, reducing costs to processors and increasing producer revenue in return.
