Following our visit to Eskdale (next post) we continued on to the northern Victorian town of Glenrowan, famed both as the birthplace of Ned Kelly and as the place where he finally met his match with state police. We did a bit of an historic tour and checked in to the Glenrowan Tourist Park for an overnight stay.
It was immediately obvious that this was one very birdy site. Just outside the reception area, Rufous Songlarks and White-winged Trillers were calling all over the place while mixedflocks of White-browed and Masked Woodswallows wheeled overhead. A small flock of White-browed Babblers foraged in the undergrowth.

Glenrowan is famed as a hotspot for Turquoise Parrot and I found a fine male foraging around our campsite. I saw another single bird later but there did not appear to be any others about.
