Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) has a long-standing reputation as a
reliable site for Purple-crowned Lorikeets.
This seems to be secure at the moment.  Continuous and vigorous calls drew
my attention today to a large, heavily-flowering eucalypt close to the left
side of the on-ramp to the upper (departure) deck of the semi-circular
airport road.  Many lorikeets were within the tree.  Well worth a trip for
any local (or fortuitous visitor) who has yet to have good views of these
tiny jewels.
