UPDATE: This section will be modified based on travel to Australia that has recently (Dec 2022) been completed.
Introduction
This page describes aspects of nature travel to Australia, based on a 35 day trip in 2010 and a 70 day trip in 2016. We will attempt to provide information useful to potential travelers to the continent who have a strong focus on natural history aspects, as we did. Our main audience is Americans, who may not be familiar with many aspects of Australian logistics – as compared with travelers from Europe or especially countries in the British Commonwealth, for whom many travel aspects may be similar.
For three talks with a bird-focus, given at a local Audubon Society meeting go here.
Individual pages related to aspects of traveling around Australia (from an American point of view) can be accessed at the links below.
