G'day Dick,
Funny you should ask!
I've just finished reading an interesting article 'Saibai Island, Torres
Strait - worth a visit' by Peter Lansley in the latest issue (Autumn 1997,
pp.18-19) of 'Australian Birding' magazine. There's also a Boigu Island
update by Peter Lansley on p. 24. Peter makes reference to Rory O'Brien's
trip report on Boigu in the Spring 1995 issue of 'Australian Birding'.
David Andrew (Editor of 'Australian Birding' - the Magazine for the
Compleat Birder) can be contacted at PO Box 9, World Trade Centre,
Melbourne VIC 3005, Phone (03)9534 9909 - he may be able to help you with
contact details.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
