Survey Point Mt Lewis dam walk Qld
Latitude -16.5969400 (16° 35′ 49″ S)
Longitude 145.2736100 (145° 16′ 25″ E)

This is a must see spot, the walk starts at an open area and wanders through the forest to a small dam, the birds can be sparse and difficult to find, but the rewards are there if you persist. One trick is to find small paths that lead into the forest, they are often made by people going to a specific spot to find a sought after bird.

No camping is advised here
