Yes I mean the feathered variety Grin

I know there are a few very interested in this venture (Derek & BigRT) I found this brochure today & I thought it may be of interest.

Hey that is a good link, thanks. I have the Readers Digest Bird book and enjoy reading that. I was showing RT the Elvis Bird that we found in N.T. and RT knew exactly what he was and his proper name too.

I have been doing a bit of bike riding in the Noosa Forest and it is amazing how much bird life there is to be seen when all is quiet. Quite a bit at Granite Bay as well Wink

Are there still quite a few of those twin breasted species there. Cheesy

Isn't that some of the most beautiful scenery through there!
Got a bit busy now with all the Yuppies in their Gucci slipon's (white ones) making their way through there slurping on a Latte.

Did you used to get many Jew there Derek? & did you need some sort of cliff gaff to haul them up?

I still have the gaff Skip. 14' rangoon cane with the gaff hook bound to the end.

Back in the 70's it wasn't uncommon to come home with four jew up to 30 lb. Have fished on and off up there since but they are few and far between these days.
