Pabral Rd is a mostly flat fire trail in the wide valley below Mt Coree and is reached via Brindabella and Curries Roads. We will walk for approximately 2kms, or a little less than that if we see a lot of interesting birds. The return will be the same way. The road skirts a wetland and then winds through tall forest where several small creeks running off Mt Coree provide moist conditions for the plants and wildlife that favour this habitat. The area hosts interesting bird species more usually reported higher up in Namadgi National Park. In particular we will be looking for summer migrants such as Satin Flycatcher and Rufous Fantail, but also hoping for Eastern Shrike-tit, Red-browed Treecreeper, Rose Robin and Wonga Pigeon. Pilotbirds, Eastern Whipbirds and Superb Lyrebirds occur in the area, though are more often heard than seen.

We will meet at 8:00 am, car pool for the drive up into Namadgi, start our walk around 8:30 and be back at our cars by about 11:30.

Bring a hat, water and morning tea, and wear appropriate footwear. We will stop for morning tea at a very nice little grassy meadow about halfway along our walk.
