Caring for the Kimberley

A Kachana Bird watching Experience.

Key features:
Existing on-going bird monitoring programme. New finds published and credited. Diverse range of habitat and bird species. No human induced mechanical sounds. Isolation and nature.

Guide:
Experienced Kimberley amateur ornithologist Steve McIntosh.

Your base for the next three days is the ecologically friendly Pioneer Cleanskin solar powered camp. With no sound other than that generated by nature, this general area is a haven for birds.

The diverse habitat systems within walking distance of your camp range from creek and swamp systems to open savanna, woodland, sub-tropical refugia and gorge systems. These various ecological systems ensures the keen watcher will see a broad range of bird species. Steve is an expert on Kimberley bird calls and species habitats.

He is currently undertaking a bird species count and monitoring programme on Kachana comparing results from areas under different landcare and resource management strategies. Kachana is an exciting challenge for the experienced bird watcher, and provides the opportunity for interested and concerned individuals to become involved in the 'Islands of Biodiversity' programme currently in place.
