In spring 2015 I had the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks in Australia. After one week of discussing scientific research outcomes, I hired a ‘hippy camper’ and wandered around in New South Wales. On this page you will see the birds (and some other species) that I encountered in just two weeks.
