Best I could do under the circumstances, but still a great thrill to see them these lovely birds thanks to some very nice people who allowed me to spend time in their fantastic garden

It was a long drive even with three drivers but certainly worth it for the spectacular scenery. Saw Bustards on the peninsula as well which was quite nice.
I actually saw three bowers - all in a very kind person's garden. Each was decorated with a different colour. The species in Alice Springs is (I think) the Spotted Bowerbird and the Western bowerbird was once considered the same species until fairly recently. The owner of the garden has travelled in the north quite extensively and has seen the Great Bowerbird which he says is quite easy to observe near Broome and Kununurra.
