Hi Peter,

I have seen Red caps and Rose robins at Deep Creek CP in South Aust. ( 1
hrs drive south of Adelaide near Delamere. )
 There are also Scarlet and Flame robins there as well.
I have also seen the Red capped robins in the dry creek beds in the upper
Flinders Ranges around Arkaroola.  I think they are normally
associated with the semi-arid parts of  S.A. as well.

Peter.
