  Birdwatching in the Region

There are many day tours to see the incredible array of bird species in this part of Queensland Australia. From the Daintree to the Tablelands to the edge of the outback. There's enough to overwhelm the avid birdwatcher and inspire the beginner.

Uniquely, within an hours travel we have 8 distinct habitats including lowland rainforest, mudflats, mangroves, saltmarsh, upland rainforest, wetland, grassland, and the much drier savannah woodland.

To the north is Mossman & the Daintree River. In the hinterland is Julatten, well known to birders, the rainforest of the Great Divide and westward to the Mitchell River to locate inland species.
This is a Birdwatcher's paradise & some endemic species may be spotted. Birds often seen include (seasonal) plovers, herons, kingfishers, birds of prey, finches, robins, parrots, cranes, cockatoos, pigeons, doves, honeyeaters to name a few.
