Bob Martinka could not resist the lure of Australia, so he headed there in October 2016. Join Bob for this tour, illustrated with his exceptional photography and descriptions of this unique land. Areas Bob visited included the humid tropical forests of northern Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef, the cool mountain forests around Lamington National Park in southern Queensland, and the coast, mountains, and arid interior of New South Wales. Unique bird species seen include the Southern Cassowary and several Emu.
Bob Martinka worked for nearly 30 years with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks., closing his career as Deputy Director. In 2022 he received the Montana Audubon Lifetime Achievement Award. In retirement, Bob has become an avid photographer, traveling to all seven continents to pursue his interest in birds and wild things. His personal statistics include having seen 1/3 (3426) of world bird species and having photographed about 20% (2036). In December 2023 Bob will have submitted an eBird checklist on 1,800 consecutive days.
