Rufous Whistler at Howe Flat Boardwalk

Howe Flat Boardwalk

A Rufous Whistler recorded on the Boardwalk leading to the coast track at Howe Flat, Croajingolong National Park. The recording was made late on a particularly windy morning, and the tea-tree lining the boardwalk can be heard clacking and rustling in the wind. The roar of the surf on the coast contributes to the low level rumble. Other species which can be heard include Grey Fantail, Eastern Whipbird and Little Wattlebird.

The boardwalk is on the edge of the Cape Howe Wilderness area and is accessible by 4wd track. The track was reopened after a seasonal closure a few days before our visit.
