Just to clarify my reference to the shooting of Bustards in the Top End.
A brief summary of where it came from:
During 1942-43 Bustards were reported as ?fairly common? in suitable
areas and ?many thousands? were shot for food by troops stationed
there.
Reference:
Rhodes, L. J. (1944).
Birds of the Adelaide River District, Northern Territory.
Emu 44: 87-93.

Happy birding
