About

St George *1 Night

Spend the first night in the beautiful St George, in search of the illusive Woma Python, Golden-tailed Gecko, Yakka Skink and Death Adder. This area also has one of the highest density's of elapids in the country with over 15 species on the cards in any one night!

Windorah *2 Nights

The second two nights of the tour will be spent in one of the most beautiful and unique locations in the country. Windorah is where the red sand dunes of the Eastern Deserts meet the escarpments and moons plains of the west. This mix of habitats means that a plethora of rare and highly sought after species will be on the cards including Australia's largest lizard, the Perentie as well as the most venomous snake on the planet, the Inland Taipan not to mention plenty of unique bird and mammal species such as Bourkes Parrots and the charismatic Kultarr!

Winton *2 Nights

Day 4 & 5 will see us wandering through the open plains of Winton in search of Collett's Black Snakes, Spencer's Monitors and Grey Falcons before heading to the ever impressive escarpments and caves of Bladensburg National Park where we will spend our nights in search of giant Olive Pythons, Pygmy Mulga Snakes, Black-headed Pythons and the adorable Prickly Knob-tailed Gecko.

Townsville *1 Night

Day 6 means saying goodbye to the desert sands of western Queensland and hello to the tropical rainforests of the east coast. Our first night on the coast will be spent in the beautiful Paluma Range National Park where we will search for a range of unique species including the beautiful Golden Bowerbird!

Cairns *2 Nights

Cairns is without doubt one of the best places in the country when it comes to wildlife diversity. Some of the species we will be searching for during our two day stay will include Northern Leaf-tailed Geckos, Chameleon Geckos, Lumholtz Tree Kangaroos, Lesser Sooty Owls, Boyd's Forest Dragons, Prickly Forest Skinks as well as a huge variety of spectacular amphibian's including the Critically Endangered endemic Kurunda Tree Frog.

Iron Range *4 Nights

Day 9 sees us making the journey up to the mind blowing endemic filled Iron Range National Park, though this is more than just a drive between locations. This drive will take us through the range of a number of spectacular and rare species including, Golden-shouldered Parrots, Coastal Taipans and Red Goshawks!

Iron Range National Park has a list of endemic species longer than almost any other part of the country and these next three days will be spent ticking them off one by one. Because the list of species we are likely to see during these three days is so long I will just name a few of the highlights - Green Python, Yellow-billed Kingfisher, Giant Tree Gecko, Canopy Goanna, Northern Death Adder, Southern Spotted Cuscus, Southern Common Cuscus, Palm Cockatoo, Red-cheeked Parrot, Mangrove Monitor, Saltwater Crocodile and many many more!

Cairns *1 Night

Accomodation!!! After spending the past serval days roughing it in the rainforests of Iron Range, this night will be used to rest, relax and reminisce on the good times that have been had so far. This will also be a chance to have another crack at any species we may have missed in Cairns on the way up!

Tully Gorge *1 Night

Day 14 will see us make the journey from Cairns to Tully Gorge, on the way down we will be stopping several times to check out some amazing species of wildlife, including Salt Water Crocodiles and Australia's biggest bird, the Southern Cassowary, before arriving at our destination, one of Australia's wettest National Parks - Tully Gorge. For those that haven't visited before, this area will take your breath away. Great walking tracks and stunning views are not the only thing that this park has to offer. This particular gorge is also the best place in the country to get up close to giant Scrub Pythons!
