Macdonnell Ranges and The Min Min
Grey Gypsies of Australia
Returning to Alice springs after several magic days we took a tour at the Desert Park to see their free flying bird show. The best bird wrangler we have seen
entertained us with a trained magpie, a stone curlew, a little boobook owl and a brown hawk. All flew as commanded and responded to verbal and food cues. The
park is also sensitively planted with separate areas of native plants that represent the arid plains, the gorges, the woodlands and the rivers. The Night House
containing the small nocturnal marsupials was one of the best we have seen too.
Watch carefully to spot the brown hawk whistle through under the roof and over the wall flying close over our heads.
At times I felt the wind of its flight.
