Brown Thornbills are by far the commonest Thornbills in the
Ivanhoe-Heidelberg area in my experience. This includes Wilson Reserve -
Chelsworth Park. 

A computer glitch prevents me from checking earlier messages, but I
think Michael Mules reported seeing Striateds at Chelsworth Park. I can
only say I never have in about 30 years birding here.  Which of course
doesnt mean that they are impossible at all. 

I have seen Yellow Thbs locally at Darebin Parklands (wattles on
Alphington side) and also at Banyule Flats, again in a Silver Wattle
stand, east of the Somerset Drive Carpark, near the Plenty River
concrete biketrack's junction with the Main Yarra Trail.

I have seen Striateds at St.Helena Bush Reserve, and at Green's Bush on
the Mornington Peninsula - and many other places of course.  I associate
them with Stringybark woodland rather than gums.
