This small group expedition travels
at a relaxed pace and covers some of the most remote areas in the
Northern Territory and North West Australia. The wildlife should
be plentiful, the scenery and sunsets spectacular.
Newhaven Station or Wildlife Sanctuary
is co-managed by Birds Australia and the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.
It is around 650,000 acres in size and is situated on the edge of
the Great Sandy Desert.
The Sanctuary is home to a diverse
range of arid zone plant and bird life and a number of these plants
and birds are of conservation significance. To date, surveys have
recorded 107 plant species and 138 bird species. There has also
been a number of small to medium sized mammals recorded on the station.
The second major highlight of
the trip will be our detour off the Tanami Road and our circumnavigation
of Lake Gregory.
The lake system is recognised
as being vitally important for migratory birds traveling to and
from Australia. There has been a wide range of bird life recorded
around the lake, including Black Necked Stork, large groups of Brolgas,
Black Swan, Spoonbills, Yellow Chats, Letter Wing Kites plus many
more. The lake is also home to a diverse range of mammals the most
obvious being wild horses and dingoes.
