 Michael, you did well having seen Mallee Emu-wren
but not Striated Grasswren! It's usually the other way around. It always 
surprises me how many people go to well-known mallee reserves and leave without
seeing Striated Grasswrens, in my experience they are quite easy if you know
their calls (high-pitched) and habitat requirements (sandy spininfex - anything
else is usually no good). Often the easiest strategy is to drive around slowly
with the windows open, stopping at suitable - looking places, and sooner or
later you're bound to come across one or more! 
Cheers
