Birdwatching Tours

A Winged Journey Through Queensland’s Vibrant Skies

Queensland is nothing short of a birdwatcher’s paradise—a realm where the skies shimmer with vibrant feathers and the air hums with melodic calls. Home to over 680 bird species, more than any other Australian state, Queensland is a sanctuary of avian life, offering a diverse range of birds that flit, soar, and sing across its unique and varied landscapes. From the lush, misty rainforests to the wide, open wetlands and coastal beaches, this region offers a front-row seat to nature’s spectacular avian performance.

Our eco tours provide the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in this rich world of Australian birdlife. Whether you're tracking the elusive Albert’s Lyrebird in the fog-drenched forests, marvelling at the dazzling bowerbirds in the woodlands, or spotting shorebirds like Latham’s Snipe and the Eastern Curlew as they gracefully navigate the tranquil wetlands, there’s always something new to discover around every corner.

A Year-Round Birdwatching Haven

Queensland is a year-round birdwatching haven, home to both endemic and migratory species. Its subtropical rainforests are alive with rare and remarkable birds like the radiant Regent Bowerbird, the elusive Eastern Whipbird, and the striking Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo. Other rare species include the Regent Honeyeater, Coxen's Fig-Parrot, and the vulnerable Swift Parrot.

The woodlands are frequented by the beautiful Glossy Black Cockatoo, Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, and Diamond Firetail, each adding to the region’s remarkable avian diversity. Meanwhile, the serene wetlands attract a variety of waterfowl, including the Pacific Black Duck, Great Crested Grebe, and the graceful Whiskered Tern.

Raptors in the Queensland Sky

For birdwatchers with a passion for raptors, Queensland is a thrilling destination. The skies above are regularly graced by majestic Peregrine Falcons, powerful Australian Kestrels, soaring Wedge-Tailed Eagles, and agile, Black-shouldered Kites. Bird enthusiasts can also seek out the mighty Powerful Owl, Australia’s largest owl species, whose haunting call echoes through the forests at night.

Coastal Regions and Grasslands

Coastal regions and grasslands provide perfect opportunities to spot species like Banded Lapwings, Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes, and the colourful Noisy Pitta, alongside seasonal migratory species like Latham’s Snipe and the Eastern Curlew.

Endangered species such as the Black-breasted Buttonquail also call Queensland home, making each birdwatching adventure even more rewarding.

The eco tour through the Bunya Mountains with Kemp from Flora 4 Fauna offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. The day takes you through the stunning rainforest, past towering bunya trees and trickling streams. Along the way, we learned about the region's rich biodiversity, Indigenous history, and the vital role these ecosystems play in the environment.The trail is easy to moderate, making it accessible for most fitness levels. Kemp is incredibly informative, sharing interesting facts about local wildlife, plant species, and conservation efforts in the area. The focus on sustainability and environmental education adds a deeper layer to the experience, making it not just a hike, but an educational journey.If you're looking to explore one of Australia’s most beautiful landscapes while learning about conservation and wildlife protection, the Bunya Mountains eco walk with Flora 4 Fauna is a must. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, education, and connection with nature.

Sophie Birch

“If you haven't done this walk or attended one of their talks, I really recommend you do so. The knowledge of local bush tucker, medicinal plants, dry rainforest species AND where to buy them from.... is amazing! You will be so pleased you did.”

Shane Stephens

“Kemp is an entertaining educator who has opened the world of bush foods to me and the bush tucker plants he sells are a great price.”

Kushla Gale

“We recently purchased 20 acres and not long after got Kemp from Flora 4 Fauna out for a consultation. This was hands down the best thing we did, were very glad we did it early on! Not only did Kemp advise us what plants would work well, but also identified species we already had growing (which we would have never known without him).

Kemp recommended specific plants & placements that would be beneficial. We didn’t have high expectations of survival as we have very sandy soil, and we only get out to the block once a week to water. Following Kemp’s guidance, all of our plants have not only survived but are thriving! This was a great feeling to have so many wins and see things thriving, as opposed to struggling to keep things alive. “

Sophie Oliver

“Fantastic day exploring some very special spots right here in SE Qld. Lots of valuable info that everyone should learn to live within our wonderful environment amongst such beautiful creatures!”

Susan Robb

“Kemp is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. His love and passion for what he does is clear, and I would highly recommend him to anyone keen on Australian habitat gardening. Supporting him means supporting your Australian flora and fauna”

Liza Sommers

The Eco tour to the Bunya Mountains with Flora 4 Fauna exceeded my expectations. As an emerging wildlife photographer, I found the walking pace perfect to be able to zoom in on the many native flora and fauna that showed off in vibrant displays of colours and shapes. Ambling beneath the cooling canopy of this unique ancient subtropical rainforest and marvelling at its abundance and splendour was candy for the soul.The best part was to have Kemp share his intricate learnings of the native flora and fauna we saw. Together with his storytelling and to be able to enjoy Bunya Nut infused local delicacies the experience came full circle.Kemp's intimate knowledge of the rural road network combined with the air conditioned comfort of the car made for a relaxing travel experience.
