On our way to Lake Leslie we visited Warwick. We pulled up
at the Womina Railway Siding Revegetation Project on the corner of the
Cunningham Highway and Womina-Willowvale Road. This turned out to be a scrap of dry bush on the side of the highway, however, we were excited to see Musk Lorikeets for the first time. They were busy feeding
high up in the gum trees making them a challenge to photograph.

After lunch in Leslie Park we moved to Queens Park and went
for a stroll along the Condamine River. There were Galahs, Little Black Cormorants
and Wood Ducks on the riverbank.

We drove out of town via Bracker Road and pulled over west of Tooth Street for excellent views over Warwick.

It's amazing how just a short drive west changes the 'bird scenery' to things like Musk Lorikeets and Red-rumped Parrots!
