Hi.
I am a studying photographer and I have always been interested in photography for wildlife. To be able to take great photos, I will need to set goals for capturing the wildlife. To start out I will need to know the whereabouts. I am currently trying to research about the Apostlebirds(Grey Jumper). Is there anyone that knows if these birds live in Queensland? Any other information about these birds would be helpful too. e.g. bait. Thankyou.



Answer
LOL... you don't need bait for apostle birds. They're not bothered by humans at all! We recently did a Qld outback trips and there were squillions of them at Carnarvon Gorge in the camp grounds. The staff at the Takaraka camp ground were also very knowledgeable about them. There were lots in the Gaske's fossicking area in Chinchilla. And at Mt Surprise in the north there was a little place that had snakes. The guy let my kids hold some of them, but when you put them on the ground the apostle birds would come down, stand in a circle around the snake and squawk away. Those are the 3 main encounters that stick in my head, they're everywhere out there though. If you're eating a sandwich, the birds will come. They're amazing little critters - good luck with the photography!

Any places to camp in QLD like Coochin Creek?







Me and my mates were looking to go for a few nights, but we wanted an unrestricted fire area. Coochin Creek is open fire prohibited. So any places like Coochin Creek but with no restrictions on fires. Thanks


Answer
You can have open fires at the Burrum Coast National Park but it's 4WD access only. I can't think of any freshwater places like Coochin Creek.
