Hi Peter,
In January I had great views on multiple occasions of Olive Whistler
at the Far South Backpackers at Strathblaine (near Dover and
Southport) on the SE coast. Also had all 4 robins in the region
(three onsite, and the Pink at Hastings Cave ~20km from there), all
the endemic honeyeaters, Green Rosella, Beutiful Firetail, and Black
Currawong. They have their own 100 acres of preserved forest, and
they're quite near a bunch of semi-preserved (don't look sideways at
the logged old growth forest) rainforest nearby. I even had male a
Superb Lyrebird in breeding plumage, although they're a pest down
there.
Other good places photography-wise were Freycinet/Coles Bay area, Port
Arthur near the prison, and Cradle Mtn NP around the main visitor's
centre.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Chris - Broome
