Further to Bob's comments about Hattah, I was up there last weekend  and 
experienced heavy rain on Saturday.  Lake Lochie is full and brimming with 
waterfowl - musk ducks, pink-eared, etc, Ospreys were also seen nearby.  Regent 
Parrots are nesting in the lake Hattah camping ground along with yellow 
rosellas, apostlebirds and choughs.
Saw a pair of Chestnut Quail Thrush near the Nowingi Toxic Dump Site 
(proposed).  Also Malleefowl along the road from Hattah to the park entrance.
