Description

Wingham Brush has a boardwalk that guides visitors safely through the ancient forest. Australian Brushturkey tend their massive nest mounds near the path. Russet-tailed Thrush forage on the forest floor along with three species of scrubwren. Green Catbird, Regent Bowerbird and Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo may be found in the trees. The river is also worth checking, with nesting Spotted Pardalote and Striated Pardalote possible, and Wedge-tailed Eagle, Osprey (Australasian), other raptors and Channel-billed Cuckoo may be seen overhead.
