Our first stop was Springbrook National Park Settlement Day Area which has a large covered picnic area, and it was just as well because the rain started to fall as we parked the cars.  We decided to have a cuppa and wait for the rain to clear.  After about half an hour, the sun came out  and we started our walk.  As we were leaving the day area we saw two raptors identified by their calls, Pacific Bazas.  Then we walked along the creek and saw White-headed Pigeon and Brown Cuckoo-Dove and other familiar birds as we entered the National Park.
