Hi all

I think Lawrie Conole spoke clearly enough for everyone on this list. We really don't want another flame war - just managed to hang onto subscribers by dousing a couple of flareups recently.

I don't know why it's so important to put states into every report anyway. If someone sees a nice bird in Cairns, am I going to be able to see it? Not likely! So it doesn't matter if it's in Cairns, Coonamble or Cooper's Ck. But if someone posts about a Regent Honeyeater in Newstead, or a Satin Bowerbird in Corio, I know where they are because they're within reach! I suppose for travelers the extra bit of info is useful, but let's not get our knickers quite so tangled about all this.

Well, what unpleasantness, I don't think I'll bother posting any more
sightings to this list. What a contrast to the several Australian Plant
lists I subscribe to. OK Terry Pacey, if you want the exact location, it was half a kilometre south of Blanket Hill, in the head of the wide gully which runs down into Dummy Creek just above Paradise Valley, on the Licola Road in Gippsland. Oh, by the way, there is a herd of Angus cattle grazing along the roadside at that spot too, you will have no trouble finding it, just look
for all the muck on the road. That's it from me, Duncan Fraser
