Hi everyone! For this blog we start out in Mt. Lamington National Park at O'Reilly's Rainforest resort. At O'Reilly's we stayed in a cottage that stuck out of the side of a mountain and in the mornings, we could see and hear all types of colorful birds. When we were out exploring, at we came across wild birds feeding, so soon we had trays of bird seed in our hands and were being swarmed by big colorful birds called Crimson Rosellas that would perch on our shoulders and land on our heads. We also did a lot of hiking while we were there and on one of the treks we saw a memorial for a Stinsen plane crash that happened in Lamington State Park in the 1930s. One of the original founders of the resort, Mr. Bernard O'Reilly, went out to search for the missing plane and discovered it with two survivors, after over a week, so he was a big local hero.
