Girraween may be the main draw to Stanthorpe but it’s not the only game in town.  Drive down virtually any back road and keep your eyes and ears open, you are bound to see lots of birds!

See that yellow line – Pyramids Road?  Keep an eye out here for Eastern Rosellas, King Parrots and Red-browed Finches.   Notice the interesting colouration of the juvenile?  I though at first it was a hybrid!

On the main road near Ballandean.

If you are staying at Banjo’s Retreat or any of it’s sister properties, you’re bound to see Crimson Rosellas, Superb Fairy-wrens, Red-browed Finches and Kookaburas.

The back roads around Amiens are a great place to spot Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos and Turquoise Parrots.
