May I suggest that many location specified by birders (e.g. Paradise Rd -
well known to Melbourne Birders) will not appear on any but the most
detailed street atlas. So I think an indication of the nearest large town
would be useful.....

Hi all,
Interesting to see this matter arrising again. May I offer a two pronged
solution.
First, I suggest getting an atlas. With one of these on your knee most, if
not all, locations mentioned on Birding Aus can be located.
Second, I work on the assumption that if I have not heard of a location,
then it is beyound my reaching in a weekend trip.
I must admit, however, that as an older member of the bird watching
fraternity I was taught at school how to use an atlas. From what I see now
as I work in tertiary education ,this may no longer be the case. I guess
that ,therefore, option 1 may not work for everyone so,
option 2 maybe the best to one to adopt if you don't recognise the name.
Good birding everyone
Jen
