Newbie question

["Larry Halpin" <>]

I am very new to birding so I hope you will bear with me for a while.

I have been trying to produce a chart (that I will be able to use easily)
that shows all the orders/families/genera/species of Australian birds.  It
will also show brief description of families & genera.  Unfortunately I had
to get the orders etc. from one source & the descriptions fropm another.
When I tried to match them up I hit trouble.  Some families had completely
different names.  Some birds had been put into different families.

My question is.
Is there a definitive list that I could use, & if so, where can I get a
copy?

Thanks for your help.
All the best
Larry Halpin
