Cockatoos and kookaburras greet the day which, despite it being mid- winter, looks likely to hit the early twenties again. Bright tropical flowers and impossibly green lawns line the route to your new favourite café. Alas, a long weekend is not enough to enjoy all the delights that Brisbane has to offer. After brunch and a few hours browsing the markets you’ll barely have time to change into something sensational before you hit the thriving nightlife. At least the airport is only 20 minutes from the city centre so you’ll be able to stretch your stay to the last possible minute. You’re already planning your next visit so you can venture a little further afield, including a day trip to stunning Moreton Island, just an hour’s boat ride away. Our favourite things to see & do • YOUNG DESIGNERS MARKET – These markets on Little Stanley • GOMA – The Gallery of Modern Art, which opened in 2006, Street, Southbank, feature some of Brisbane’s best up and is only 150 metres from the Queensland Art Gallery and coming designers and artists selling a range of fashion and focuses on the art of the twentieth & twenty-first centuries.

The purpose of this Project is to research and report on the trail followed by Matthew Flinders and his support party to determine if an alignment can be mapped corresponding to the approximate route taken by the party. Council has noted that the primary aim of the project is to provide enough information to Council Officers to enable them to make an informed decision on the viability of the project. Specifically, the report should assist Council Officers to have information to decide if it is justified for subsequent funding and effort to be expended on further planning, design, construction and ongoing operation of a heritage trail in this location.

  • The Glass House Mountains
    The Glass House Mountains Jutting into the air like shards of glass, the Glass House Mountains form a distinctive backdrop to the Sunshine Coast. This stunningly volcanic landscape holds a special significance in Indigenous legend and culture, with each of the mountains representing a member of a family, and their spirits dominating the area. Although climbing many of the mountains is only for the experienced, there are a number of easy to moderate tracks in the area accessible to a wider range of walkers. The circuit around Mount Tibrogargan passes through shady forest, and offers the chance to learn about, and view, several of the other mountains. The short hike up Wild Horse Mountain is rewarded with expansive views. For something a bit different, the Soldier’s Walk at Beerburrum explores the history of the town as a settlement area for retired soldiers, while Ewen Maddock Dam is a peaceful haven for bird and nature lovers with a walk that takes in lakes and forest. 141 27 Ewen Maddock 27 Ewen Maddock Dam Walk directions Dam Start at the dam-side 1 car park where there are picnic benches, toilets, The sounds of wind rustling in gum a BBQ and a children’s trees and melodic birdsong follow At a glance play park.

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.
