More Lamington National Park – Queensland 11-11-2014

The Yugambeh People knew these densely forested valleys and ranges rising to more than 1100m on the crest of the McPherson Range as   'Woonoongoora'

Yugambeh yahnbai gulli bahn' (Yugambeh are still here). 'We continue to live on our traditional lands, caring for the rainforest and its wildlife.'

On the other hand, Lord Lamington recalling his  visit to the National Park, said ‘when we were coming down the mountain, I shot a ‘Native Bear’ It’s dying cries were terrible, they haunted me for years afterwards’

It was fantastic to see these birds, some almost within touching distance! Still we have no camera.
