A trip south of Alice Springs led to my first (and so far only) sighting of a Thorny Devil in the wild. It was also my first experience in a gibber plain and and we managed to spot two of this type of country's iconic birds. The Channel-bill Cuckoo lifecycle also continued to unfold in the backyard in Alice Springs.
