During the Cape York Trip The Doc flew over and landed on AWC\u2019s <\/a>Brooklyn Sanctuary. The helicopter refuelled at Pennyweight Outstation. Brooklyn <\/a>is in Far North Queensland, an hour and half drive from Cairns.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrooklyn Sanctuary supports a greater diversity of wildlife (500 vertebrate species) than any other single property in Australia. More than 290 bird species, 86 mammal species and 140 reptiles and frogs make Brooklyn a true \u201chotspot\u201d for Australia\u2019s wildlife.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In the east, Brooklyn includes vibrantly luxurious mountain rainforests of the World Heritage Listed Wet Tropics Bioregion, rising to an altitude of 1140 metres and drenched by an average rainfall of over 4000 mm. Around 4,000 hectares of Brooklyn is world heritage listed – the largest area of privately owned world heritage on mainland Australia.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The day after the helicopter trip ended, The Doc drove out to Brooklyn to meet Andrew and Megan the Sanctuary Managers. We spent a few hours indexing scanned AWC slides of Brooklyn \u2013 sorry cannot show those photos as they are AWC’s. The AWC’s photos were dry season photos whereas mine are wet season. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
