Birds of AustraliaAboriginal: "dhigaraa" [gamilaraay], "ghigayaa" [yuwaalaraay] = bird In total there are about 750 bird species in Australia, including its coastal waters and surrounding islands. These pages contain our steadily growing account of spottings and photography of Australian birds. We live in the interior of the continent, on the western side of the great dividing range (near Narrabri, NSW, in the catchment of the Namoi River; external link). Currently we have information available on about 270 bird species, with about 195 thumbnail images for those species of which we have the best photos. Photos shown on this web site are available FOR SALE.
