One of the world's "easy" birding destinations,although some interior species can be impossibly difficult. The country is so vast that unless you do an extended trip it is best done in sections; we have only covered Northern Queensland extensively (apart from a couple of stopovers) but this area probably provides the greatest variety and numbers of birds.Some families are totally absent (e.g. Woodpeckers) but many have representatives at home. The numbers in Oz. tend to be much greater, for example ten Kingfishers, twenty-four Pigeons and eleven Owls. Raptors and waders are also well represented, whereas Passerines include several endemic or near-endemic families such as Fairy-wrens Logrunners and Lyrebirds. Many other essentially tropical groups occur, notably Honeyeaters and Parrots. Don't worry about the snakes, spiders etc., they are certainly around but most people never encounter them, and sensible behaviour will ensure you see saltwater crocs from the outside only. Perhaps the biggest danger to a birder could be a Cassowary attack!
