We had planned to visit the Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s Kalamurina Sanctuary earlier in 2011, but were thwarted by the weather and other commitments. So when we were offered to act as caretakers on the sanctuary for five weeks over the Christmas/New Year period, we jumped at the opportunity.
The term ‘iconic’ is overused nowadays, but is completely appropriate to the Birdsville Track. The Birdsville Track is probably Australia’s best known and most loved outback track, with a rich history and almost mythic status. The 500km plus track joins the small town of Marree in outback South Australia with the town of Birdsville in outback, south-western Queensland.
Anyone who has read our blogs over the past year would know that we love the Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s Scotia Sanctuary. Needless to say, we were excited to have the opportunity to assist during the annual pitfalling survey there in November 2011.
