Some photos of my recent travels

Well, I'm finally back to writing blog posts.  I have been really busy with work and other things that have kept me distracted from birding. However, I have been doing some exploring around Bruthen looking for old gold mines. I will post a few photos, while I am trying to get a proper blog post written up.

After a long break from writing blog posts, due to work and the Christmas season, I'm finally back. I haven't been anywhere of interest birding in a long while, but last week I was able to head up to Stuart Creek. While the birdlife was not spectacular, and I didn't really get any photos, I thought I'd write a post anyway. 

Stuart Creek is around 15 minutes from Bruthen. Head up the Great Alpine Rd 11Km, and you will come to Stuart Creek Rd on your right.  Drive along Stuart Creek Rd for 3.2 Km, and you will come to Moonlight Rd on your right. Drive down Moonlight Rd, and you will come to a bridge over the Tambo River. You can park on the right-hand side of the road, just before the bridge.

Hopefully I will be able to go back again soon, and get more photo opportunities.
