Alpha adventure: NSW outback, Apr 21

A 6-day road trip to Broken Hill and back, camping in national parks, birdwatching in various hotspots, and checking out lots of cool spots in between:
Murrumbateman -> Harden -> Fivebough wetlands -> Yanga NP
Yanga NP -> Australian Inland Botanic Gardens (Buronga) -> Perry Sandhills -> Silverton -> Menindee Lake/Kinchega NP/LAke Pamamaroo
Menindee -> Broken Hill -> Living Desert Park -> White Cliffs opal fields
White Cliffs -> Mount Grenfell -> Round Hill nature reserve -> Lake Cargelligo
Lake Cargelligo -> Weethalle -> West Wyalong -> Grenfell -> Weddin -> home!

I've loaded 60 observations from the trip, including road-running emus, mating dragonflies, a hiding southern boobook and various desert plants and insects. I added 15 bird species to my life list!
