Your guide Simon Starr, of Firetail tours, invites you to experience the fantastic diversity of birds and habitats found in this exciting southern Australian state where well over 400 species are regularly recorded.

Some areas regularly visited include Hattah National Park, Murray-Sunset NP, Wyperfeld NP, Terrick Terrick NP, Wychitella NCR, Kooyoora State Park, Kerang lakes and the Murray Valley, Greater Bendigo NP, Greater Otway NP, Anglesea Heath, Western Treatment plant at Werribee, You Yangs, Yarra Ranges NP, Toolangi forest reserve etc. 

For the casual birdwatcher I can promise a day of good company and great birdwatching.
And for the hardcore birder, the rarest species are on my radar.

I will tailor your trip to suit your own requirements. I promise to focus on you so that you can focus on the birds.
