I have a question about finding Gouldians in the autumn. 

I intend to do an inland car-trip in April via Alice, Mt Isa and so forth,
attempting to pick up things from the Centre I haven't seem before, and then
back down through SW Queensland and NW NSW.

I'd also like to try for Gouldians, but I know they're a good deal north of
route I intend to go and also I don't know how easy or difficult it is to
find them at that time of year.

So:

1. Is is at all possible to find Gouldians in the autumn (do they come in to
drinking holes, or are they widely dispersed).

2. Where should I go, I could go up to the Katherine area and ask the
researchers at Edith Falls for info (are they still there?); or what about
this Booroloola place that Thomas and Thomas mention?, or are they Lawn Hill
NP? and what's the road like up there?

Information from Gouldian experts gratefully received.
