Opened with three Bush Thick-knee in the carpark for my hotel on the Gold Coast. Strong.

Off a redeye flight and straight to Harbour Runners Saturday morning run. Immediate lifer as the city sparrows are of the Eurasian Tree variety. Saw a Black Kite soaring, which turned into a common sight throughout the trip. Also spotted some Great Egret around the harbour.
