Highlights
Outing Highlights
80+ species and the rare Regent Honeyeater
Expect to identify more than 80 bird species over three days, and keep watch for the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater—one of the marquee sights on this route.
Deep sandstone escarpments and sweeping valley views
The itinerary traverses the western escarpments of the Blue Mountains into the open Capertee bowl, where deep sandstone cliffs and broad valley floors set the stage for concentrated bird and wildlife activity.
Beyond birds: wallabies, wombats and more
Alongside the rich avifauna, the trip offers repeated chances to encounter native mammals such as wallabies and wombats while moving between known and lesser‑visited birding sites.
What the day feels like
What the three days feel like
The tour follows a deliberate birding circuit over three days, visiting both established and off‑the‑beaten‑track sites in the Blue Mountains and the Capertee Valley. Days are paced around search windows and travel between lookout points and valley birding sites; evenings are spent in motel accommodation with meals provided, giving time to review sightings and prepare for the next day’s search.
