The Sydney Region

You don't have to go far from Sydney to find some good places to go birding. In most cases, these areas are easily reached by public transport. The region features a variety of habitats from rainforest and woodland to wetland or heath to swamps. There are also good seabird watching spots. All of these can be found within 20 kilometers of the city centre. Travelling a little further afield can deliver some excellent birding locations. These areas inclue the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury regions: both homes to quite different avifauna.
