until you Queenslanders abide by the rules and all finish at the

designated place you cannot claim to hold the record.

Hi Peter
We live in a very LARGE State, of all the teams that
participated in this years Twitch I think we covered the least kilometres (450
kl) do you wish us to travel to Cairns (400 kl) or Brisbane (1500 kl) to compete
and burn all that extra fuel?
The point is we got the most species in the country and all
within a 100 kl radius of Townsville, Australia's best kept birdwatching
secret.
Birding Ausser's on your next trip to north Queensland dont
bypass us for Cairns stop and take a look for yourself.
By the way we are not claiming the record, just the best score
this year.
Regards

To a man ornithologists are tall, slender, and
bearded, so
that they can stand motionless for hours, imitating kindly
trees, as they watch for birds.
