Thursday I got up early (5 AM) to go out and listen to the birds with John & the gang. On the way back we saw a bower bird's bower. Tis particular species decorates the area around his bower of arched sticks with only blue stuff arranged in a particular pattern of his liking. If you move a blue object, he moves it back. Everything has to be perfect to attract a female to his mating bower. Once the deed is done, she flies off to build a nest and he hangs around his bower to attract another fair damsel...

After breakfast we had a free day, so of course Annie and I went on a hike. This one was three miles downhill to a pool in the river in the valley, then three miles back uphill to the camp. May I say that our legs were tired?? After dinner we did "bush dancing" which was basically like square dancing. Everyone really got into it, and it was a fun way to spend our last night in Lamington.
