Flinders Ranges - Gluepot - South Australia - 2 Spots Available

April 2019

Gluepot Reserve, about an hour and a half drive north of Waikerie,  will see you staking out some water holes and looking for some of the Mallee specialty birds such as: Yellow-plumed Honeyeater, Mallee Ringneck, Black-eared Miner, Southern Scrubrobin, White-browed Treecreeper and Chestnut Quail-thrush to name but a few. The nomadic Budgerigar has been known to turn up from time to time as well. Gluepot is Birdlife Australia’s first publicly funded reserve and is around 50,000 hectares in area. And of course there is always the beautiful Major Mitchell Cockatoo to pursue.

But that's not all. 

We'll cruise the magnificent Murray River looking for raptors and we'll stay in the magnificent Flinders Ranges photographing gorgeous landscapes and clear night skies. While there we will chase the Red-capped Robin which is often found near our lodgings.
