‘Bucket List’ visit, the  Amazing bird life in the Capertee Valley. 

This scenic Capertee Valley encompasses the Capertee River and hamlets of Glen Davis and Glen Alice. It is surrounded by the Wollemi, Capertee and Garden of Stones National Parks and has some magnificent bush walks.

I enjoyed a wonderful Birdlife experience. My first stop en-route was the Lithgow Visitors centre. They have an amazing amount of information, including maps with 19 various ‘Capertee Valley bird trails’ clearly set out, with references to the species you are likely to see.

I stayed at Dalli’s Camp ground, which is located on the Glen Davis road. However there are numerous basic camp grounds to choose from and a few ‘Airbnb’ listed cottages.

It was mid-Autumn and it rained for the first two days that I was present, however despite the ‘time of year’ plus the rain (showers and some heavy storms) I saw some amazing birdlife by following the various Bird Trails listed in the visitors centre brochure.
