Some of the birds observed during the walk included Pheasant Coucal, Scaly-breasted Lorikeet, Little Lorikeet, Red-backed Fairy Wren and of course the ubiquitous Noisy Miner.

The location of the Coucal Trail walk is shown on this map.

Historical note:
The Coucal Trail was so named by a dedicated group of young adults who worked on a Green Corps Project for several months in 1998-99 (see SORB newsletters Dec 1998 and Mar 1999). The name refers to the Pheasant Coucal bird, whose mournful hoot-hooting is still known to echo the length of this reach of the river, as we found on this recent walk.

Sat, 8th May 2010: Upper reaches of Jindalee Creek, downstream from Ashridge Rd, Darra

Some twenty people attended the WaCC Walk on Saturday afternoon, 8th May 2010 led by Henrik Maier. 

The purpose of the walk was to enjoy the beautiful park and bushland along the upper reaches of Jindalee Creek between Ashridge Rd, Darra, and the Edenbrooke lake. 

The group also inspected the areas which suffered sediment damage to bushland adjacent to CSR site during construction of the adjacent industrial subdivision.

We ran out of time to complete the walk to the Edenbrooke lake. It was resolved to defer that to a future visit to check the status of the creek and algae issues there.
