Alpha adventure: SE QLD road trip (Jan 19)

After getting back from sailing around SE Asia for nearly two years, I was keen to immerse myself is some local Aussie nature, so I loaded up my car with a bunch of camping gear and embarked on a little road trip around SE QLD: Brisbane -> Bunya Mountains -> Cania Gorge -> Monto -> 1770/Agnes Water -> Wongi -> Fraser Coast -> Sunshine Coast!

Nature highlights included:
Birdwatching in the Bunyas, which included satin bowerbirds, my first pitta species and spotting another bird of paradise: the paradise riflebird
Diving with grey nurse sharks (and a few other shark/ray species) at Wolf Rock
Nudibranch spotting in the Mooloolah River with nudi-guru Gary Cobb.

All up, 36 species (42 observations), including 13 nudibranch species
