 Edwin, you may want to be a little careful at Yathong. NPWS seem to 
give the impression  that they don't want people here. Not sure if it 
was the abrupt email from the local ranger, or the signs on every 
cross road saying 'Service track only - no unauthorised entry" but it 
seems public entry is not what NPWS want for this spot.

    David Mitford and I are planning to have a look around Cobar in
    central NSW next month for a few days. David hopes to see a few
    new birds but I do not expect to see anything new myself though a
    Grey Falcon would be a nice sight.  Does anyone know of good
    birding sights around Cobar or Central NSW and to see some
    interesting species such as: Striated Grasswren - does anyone have
    directions to see the Striated Grasswrens in Yathong NR and how to
    get to Yathong NR?
 
Dear Edwin and Graham
 When Birding NSW (then Field Ornithologists of NSW) were going to visitk 
Yathong some years ago, we were in touch with the local ranger and he 
was very insistant that we contacted him in advance of any proposed 
visit. I think they are rightfully very protective of their small 
Malleefowl population. So take care.
