My first visit to this park and was pleasantly surprised by the birdlife and habitat diversity. In the vine scrub, Little Shrike-thrushes were very prominent and vocal - a species I haven't often seen. Also surprised to see a Spectacled Monarch, and a Four-barred Swordtail - the first time I've seen this butterfly anywhere other than Toowoomba.
