20.01.2022 We would like to thank the people who have visited Lanikai. Over recent times we have had many people visiting who enjoy looking for gold. We would like to advise everyone on the rules we have for looking for gold on Lanikai. When looking for gold we ask that everyone only uses gold pans. This means NO using a sluice or dredge. No bringing buckets of dirt back to the camping ground, please leave the dirt in its original location. No digging in the banks of the creeks and gu...lly's, this damages the creeks and causes erosion. Access to the creek is via the creek pool track, all other tracks are for walking only. Gold detectors may be used however please ensure that any diggings are filled in . We appreciate that there are a lot of rules however please remember that this is our home and we love it. See more

We would like to focus on protecting and maintaining the environment and we welcome birdwatchers, bushwalkers and people wishing to get away and relax by a camp fire. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

03.01.2022 As at today our prices have increased to $15.00 for adults and children above 12 years, $7.50 for children aged 5-12 years and it is still free for under 5 years. These amounts give access to the property for a 24 hour period. For example if you enter the property at 11am you are expected to leave the property on or before 11am the next day. If you stay on the property for longer than this you are expected to pay for another 24 hour period regardless of the length of extra time. Firewood is supplied free of charge for small fires (weather permitting), however campers are asked to be respectful of the amount that they use.

02.01.2022 Researchers may have found a way to improve the survival chances of endangered birds bred in captivity after successfully training wild fairy-wrens to recognise... danger warnings from other species. The process could be likened to teaching the birds a foreign language and training them to recognise predators with their eyes closed, according to the research team that includes Dr Dominique Potvin from the University of the Sunshine Coast. Birds often eavesdrop on the calls of other species to take advantage of many eyes looking out for danger, said Dr Potvin, the study’s lead author. Reporting in this month’s Current Biology, https://www.cell.com/current-biology//S0960-9822(18)30775-9 she and fellow researchers taught fairy-wrens to recognise the alarm calls of other species without seeing the bird that made the call or the predator that provoked it. The results from this study were striking and provide insights to explain how this social learning occurs in nature, she said. The research group of Dr Potvin, Professor Robert Magrath and Dr Chaminda Ratnayake from the Australian National University and Professor Andrew Radford from the University of Bristol believe the findings may be relevant to conservation efforts. Often endangered species breed well in captivity only to be taken by predators soon after release, Professor Magrath said. This study shows us how to prepare animals for life in the wild by training them to recognise the alarm calls from other species about predators before release. The group has long been interested in bird alarm calls and eavesdropping among species, with earlier studies finding that fairy-wrens were learning from direct experience. Professor Radford say the birds would associate a novel alarm call with danger if they repeatedly saw a predator at the time they heard the sound. Suspecting that fairy-wrens could also learn from other birds by listening closely to their calls, the researchers trained 16 wrens by broadcasting unfamiliar sounds in combination with the known danger calls of other species, in the absence of any predator. At first, the birds did not flee from the unfamiliar sounds but after training they often sought cover, Professor Radford said. He said this showed a type of indirect social learning, with the birds learning to associate new calls with known alarm sounds, without seeing the caller or the reason for it. It makes sense to learn from others when it is dangerous to learn through direct experience. So, theoretically, they could learn with their eyes closed, he said. See more
