We have a pair of paleheaded rosellas that live in our area & we see them in our garden regularly. Stupid miner birds try to chase them away .

Have never managed to get a picture of them yet, but heres pic of some sulphur crested cockatoos both on our verandah & drinking from our pool when it was being built (no no no, we dont feed them! )

Ahh, all becomes clear now. We had one on our feeder the other day, I didn't see it and was googling the description hubby and first born gave me - didn't succeed but that's it. Bears no relation to what I was told Hope he/she comes back. Getting bored with the rainbow lorikeets and Aus King Parrots now - as if

And you wouldnt believe it - this was in our garden when I got home from picking the boys up from school this afternoon. It even stayed sitting on our pavers while I raced upstairs & got out the camera & took the pics .

Lamington is worth a peep because it's just so different from the lowlands. Because you're at altitude, you're in rainforest, even cool temperate rainforest at higher elevations. Much of the wildlife there is unique to the plateau and not found at the coast. It's also very scenic.

However, it is hugely popular and accommodation is often packed. Nevertheless, I was surprised at how quiet many of the walking tracks were.
Highlights for me when I was there included: Albert's Lyrebird, Regent Bowerbird, Wonga Pigeon, Paradise Riflebird and many other birds; two foot long lizards called Land Mullets; Pademelons (a type of forest wallaby) with joeys in the pouch; Whip-tailed Wallaby, and Common Ring-tailed Possum (far nicer than the Brush Tails), amongst many other things.
