Join us for this 7 day/6 night workshop as we fly over the network of rivers, estuaries, creeks, mudflats and wetlands of the Gulf of Carpentaria. This remote area in tropical Queensland offers some of the best opportunities in Australia to see this unique landscape. The wildlife is abundant with a range of marsupials, birds, frogs and reptiles regularly sighted across the expanse of wetlands.
