Showing other birding and parrot enthusiasts around Cairns and surrounds

Donald Kingfisher Lodge at Julattten is terrific — i have often stayed there with my nonbirding partner and daughter, though not for a few years now. It is a good 90 minutes drive from Cairns airport though: north just past the Port Douglas turnoff, and then west up the escarpment onto the plateau. Often has fig parrots, but they are hard little bastards to get a good view of kim Kim Sterelny, School of Philosophy, Research School of the Social Sciences, Australian National University, Acton, 0200, ACT, Australia Kim.Sterelny@anu.edu.au or Kim.Sterelny@vuw.ac.nz 61-(0)2-6125-2886 ________________________________________ From: Birding-Aus <birding-aus-bounces@birding-aus.org> on behalf of Donald G.

I was looking for accomodation that is close to rainforest and gives a scenic representation of what QLD has to offer for those that love Aussie parrots and birds. Fig Parrots would be one of the stars for example. I was thinking about staying at Chambers Lodge near Lake Eacham. After a long flight to Cairns from the USA I thought this might be a restful place and a good place to see and film Fig Parrots and other native Aussie birds. Any feedback from local Aussies? Thanks!
