Cania Gorge

We made an early start the next day along a lovely road towards Cania Gorge.  Just a few kms down the road we stopped to photograph a Little Corella and a pretty warbler.  When we reached the gorge we where surrounded by a flock of Blue-faced Honeyeaters.  We headed off on our walk up to Fern Tree Pool and then up to Giant Chair lookout point.  In the afternoon we did a shorter walk up to the Dragon and Bloodwood caves.  Incredible views over the 70m sandstone cliffs of the gorge.  We saw a lovely Red-backed Fairy Wren on our way up the second walk, the walk had been diverted in several places due to walking bridges being washed out by floods earlier in the year.  In the late afternoon we decided to head back to the coast as the weather forecast was showing fair and we wanted to go on a whale trip.  On the way back there were flocks of Bustards in the fields, the closest we had ever seen them.  Camped for the night at a municipal site at the pretty town of Burrum Heads.  The friendly owner arranged for our whale watching tour with Whalesong the next day.
