Visited Gipsy Point which is on the Genoa River not far from Mallacoota. Stayed at the Gipsy Point Lakeside www.gipsy.com.au. which proved to be excellent accommodation and a good location for birding. They have a feeding twice a day which attracts large numbers of Rainbow Lorikeets, King Parrots, Galahs, Red-Browed Finches etc. Much of the surrounding flora has been planted so as to attract a lot of birds, small birds in particular. Spotted Superb Fairy Wrens, New Holland Honeyeaters, Bell Miners, Eastern Yellow Robins, Satin Bower Birds etc.
Besides birds there is a large resident population of kangaroos as well as other smaller marsupials.
We were there during the heavy rains in early March so the river was in flood hence no sign of the White-Bellied Sea Eagles which reportedly fish in the river. Did see a Whistling Kite which resides in the area.
