Hi all, Following up on an earlier email I have just found out there are still 2 spots left on this October’s trip. If you are interested please contact George Swann at: info@kimberleybirdwatching.com.au If you want to see how hard the trip is going to be (smile), have a look at the boat on the brochure at George’s website, talk about a beautiful looking birdwatching come tropical cruising boat: http://kimberleybirdwatching.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ashmore-brochure.pdf The brochure shows details for last April’s trip. This trip is 19th to 28th October. Can’t you just imagine sitting on that top deck as cetacean, turtles, sea snakes and tropical birds pass us in the sunshine? – whoops, sorry about that embarrassing bit of rave, I am totally biased ‘cos I have done the trip once already and want to make sure this trip happens (smile). But there is a serious side to the trip too. The trips have been going every October or November since the 1990s, at least, and as George Swann said in an email “I think its important that we keep the trip going every year as it keeps Ashmore in Australian Birders mind plus we continue to collect data that is building into a huge data set for the Islands and the Browse Basin that is undergoing massive development with the oil and gas industry.” cheers Jenny http://jenniferspryausbirding.blogspot.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
Dear Jenny,, We went on the Reef Prince in April 2014 to Ashmore Reef and yes, it was very very comfortable. But I’m not sure that they are using the same boat on the October trip. I would recommend that interested parties double check which boat is going.
