#70 to #100 around Birsbane, Queensland, Australia

We just got back from a wonderful holiday in Brisbane! My wife, her mum and our eldest daughter went to watch several events at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. I got to go out with the camera!

We stayed with my wife's aunt in Sandgate, where I spent most of my time with the camera. We were staying right next to Dowse Lagoon which I visited every day that we were there. I managed to find two lifers at the lagoon - Cotton Pygmy-goose (photographed) and Pale-vented Bush-hen (seen well as it flew away from me, no photo). I could also walk to the beach that had migratory waders at low tide.

The only other places I made it for photography were a quick visit to the City Botanic Gardens where I found twelve Bush Stone-curlew, as well as a brief trip to Osprey House. Most of the photos here were from around Sandgate.
