Yesterday was the last day of our mini road-trip to the New England tablelands. We spent most of the day in a steady descent from our lodgings at Walcha Road – over 1000m – to Port Macquarie which is, as the name suggests, at sea level. We visited several tourist attractions and birding sites in the process. We did a bit more birding along the coastal plain before finally arriving home at 20.30, eleven hours after departing our hotel – a total distance of approx 300k. We managed to add a few more birds to the list but with the temperature in the high thirties most were hiding in the shade.
