I read an article a few days ago about how the drought had been well and truly broken in an area in northern NSW.  I heard tha statement from a farmer that the Mitchell Grass was going mad in the area.  I remember that the mummified corpse of a Night Parrot was found in an area where the Mitchell grass had produced seed.
Given how dry the rest of the country is, it might offer a good chance to find a night parrot to visit the dams in the area.
Just a thought. Any other thoughts?
