Day 15 - Cania Gorge

Cania Gorge was a beautiful place to stay. The national park is just adjacent to the caravan park, there is a lake for fishing (canoe and dinghy rental from the caravan park).

The park offers numerous bush walks on marked trails ranging from 1.2 km to about 6 km return. We explored Two Story Cave, Bloodwood Cave, and Dragon Cave.
The highlight of the afternoon was the daily bird feeding. The lorikeets started gathering up to 2 hours before the appointed time, joined by kookaburras, king parrots, spinifex pidgeons, and apostle birds. 200 Lorikeets
The lorikeets (over 200 of them) were offered a sweet mash of honey and something (bread or oatmeal). The ensuing roar of squawking would wake the dead. Next on offer were some meats for the kookaburras who patiently lined on up the pole. Finally split corn, sunflower seeds and other seeds were on offer for the stunning but gentle green and orange king parrots.
