Ardlethan

We parked outside the Ardlethan Cemetery to have a cuppa and stayed much longer than we had intended. It's a beautiful, peaceful cemetery surrounded by native callitris and eucalypts and it's a fantastic spot for bird-watching. I saw three species of robin - Red-capped, Yellow and Hooded - as well as Diamond Firetails, Horsfield's Bronze-cuckoo, Rufous Whistler, several parrots and a Peaceful Dove calling peacefully. A Collared Sparrowhawk patrolled just as we were leaving.
