Dux Creek, Bribie
Island, Queensland, Australia - A curlew's lament
|
|
|
This booklet
outlined the plight of the many thousands of shorebirds, Eastern Curlews
in particular, that would lose their high-tide roost when Dux Creek was
developed in order to become a canal estate.
Subsequent
discussions led to an award-winning partnership between various local
groups and the developers, and the construction of the artificial Kakadu
Beach roost site.
The booklet is
now out of print.
