SEPTEMBER, 2017 EDITION 4 THE HISTORY OF INNOT HOT SPRINGS As you laze away in the hot mineral pools at Innot vot Springs, ponder the history of these popular pools The hot springs were first discovered by Europeans in the early 1870s when John Atherton was exploring the area for grazing opportunities. The springs were ignored until 1885 when Charles Overend Garbutt, the owner of Woodleigh Station, rediscovered them and learned from the local Aboriginal people that the springs had healing properties.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction. ...................................... 5 List of birds. ...................................... 7 Gazetteer ....................................... .. 179 3 INTRODUCTION In 1967 I began to search the literature for information on Queensland birds ­ their distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, breeding season, movements and taxonomy. In addition much unpublished information was received from Mrs H.B. Gill, Messrs J.R. Ford, S.A. Parker, R.L. Pink, R.K. Carruthers, L. Neilsen, D. Howe, C.A.C. Cameron, Bro. Matthew Heron, Dr D.L. Serventy and the late W.E. Alexander. These data formed the basis of the List of Queensland birds (Stort 1973, Spec. Pubis West. Aust. Mus. No. 5). During the last decade the increase in our knowledge of Queensland birds has been such as to warrant a re-writing of the List. Much of this progress has been due to three things: (1) survey work by J.R. Ford, A. Gieensmith and N.C.H. Reid in central Queensland and southern Cape York Peninsula (Ford et al. 1981, Sunbird 11: 58-70), (2) research into the higher categories ofclassification, especially C.G.

Some people say they are secretive, but it’s a bit hard to miss them with their yowling, cat-like calls. They are a fairly common resident in rainforest at all altitudes from Cooktown to Townsville, where they forage for fruit, flowers, leaves and stems, invertebrates, nestling (and small) birds and eggs. The male and female are almost identical. Spotted Catbirds are a species of bowerbird that mate for life so there is no need to create a bower. The breeding season is from September to December. The females build the nest and usually lay 2 eggs, which they brood. The males care for the nesting females and help to feed the chicks. Sources CB & DW Frith, 2001.

  • A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia Provide a Biogeographically Based Statewide Sample of Wetlands Which Meet the Criteria for Inclusion
    8. Queensland Introduction J.G. Blackman, Queensland Environmental Protection Agency The wetlands included in this third edition of A Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia provide a biogeographically based Statewide sample of wetlands which meet the criteria for inclusion. The listings encompass the full range of diversity in natural wetland types occurring within Queensland (Qld) (Blackman et al. 1999). An additional 12 wetlands in the Mulga Lands bioregion and four sites on land owned or managed by the Commonwealth are included, bringing the current Qld listing to a total of 181 wetlands. Of these, 178 are terrestrial sites covering about 8.5 million ha, and three are eastern seaboard marine sites covering about 34.2 million hectares. The location of each of the sites is illustrated in Figure 6. Wetland information contained in the Directory has been derived from Department of Environment and Heritage field surveys of wetlands in the Gulf Plains, western Cape York Peninsula, north-east and south-western Queensland as part of the Queensland Wetland Inventory Program; the Natural Resource Analysis Program of the Cape York Peninsula Land Use Strategy; published and unpublished information on wetlands; field data and descriptions solicited from others; and interpretation of satellite image data and aerial photography, supported by existing natural resource mapping (geology, soil, vegetation and land systems). The wetlands listed have been mapped as digital coverages in a geographic information system (GIS). The Queensland Environment Nineteen bioregions are currently recognised for Queensland (Thackway and Cresswell 1995). Thirteen of these fall entirely or predominantly within the State, seven of these have coastal sections bordering tropical or subtropical marine environments.
