Birdwatching Clubs and Other Interesting Sites
South Australian Ornithological Association Inc.
c/- The South Australian Museum, North Tce ADELAIDE 5000
The aims of the Association are to promote the study and conservation
of Australian birds, to record results of research into all aspects of
bird life and to encourage bird watching as a leisure activity.
The Association is currently (1999) celebrating its centenary year and is the oldest ornithological organisation in Australia. A Centenary book of some 200 pages comprising edited contributions from long-standing members is expected to be published in Oct/Nov of 1999, reflecting a history of ornithology in South Australia. As well as a quarterly newsletter, the Association publishes the highly regarded scientific journal "The South Australian Ornithologist".
The Association has approximately 500 members and general meetings, usually of 90 - 130 persons, are held on the last Friday of every month except December. Meetings usually feature a guest speaker. As well as supporting research into birds and their habitats, the Association conducts field trips on the last Sunday, middle Saturday, and third Thursday of each month. Visitors (especially beginners and potential members) are always most welcome at meetings, field trips and campouts.
Meetings are held at the Charles Hawker Conference Centre in the Waite Institute on Waite Rd, Netherby at 8.00 pm, at which details of field trips are available.

Australasian Ornithological
Services Pty Ltd
Australian Ornithological Services (formerly Inland Bird Tours) started
in Deniliquin in the southern Riverina area of N.S.W. 15 years ago.
The main focus of those tours was the Plains-wanderer. While the Plains-wanderer
is still our flagship species we have increased our repertoire to include
all States of Australia and New Zealand, specialising in difficult skulkers
and nocturnal birds.
We are the inland specialists for serious birders. We endeavour to ensure
that the whole group see the birds and not just a lucky few.
Tour leader, Philip
Maher, is interested in all aspects of natural history.

Birdwatching
Aficionados - Jonny Schoenjahn
I specialize in customised birdwatching tours and operate exclusively
on request. There are no standard tours or regular schedules. I only take
one booking at a time with a maximum of 4 people. This means you will
be the only customers on the tour and my attention is focused on your
pleasure.
All tours are accommodated in personally selected, quality accommodation. The exception being tours such as through the Great Sandy Desert in search of the rare Princess Parrot, where we will camp. My vehicle is a very comfortable, spacy and well equipped Toyota Landcruiser 4WD. With most tours you have the option to 'fly and drive', the choice is yours.
The areas I visit include:
I conduct special trips into the remote Outback, particularly the many deserts, or criss-cross through Australia in search of the ten endemic Grasswren species. If there are particular birds you want to see just let me know. I would be pleased to work out a unique tour for you.
For further details please check my listing under Interstate Tour Operators.
