Keith and all,
Yes this is true BUT.. in all cases I've noticed one important
requirement is a lip or flake on the roof of the cave that they can
attach/hang the nest from. Sandstone caves seem to provide this more
often than granite and possibly limestone. When they nest in
human-made structures, it's always attached to a lip such as an
overlapping sheet of iron or similar. Where there isn't such a
feature the nest is likely to fall down. At least, with all the nests
I've seen this is the case.
cheers

Hi ALL, it does not surprise me that these NSW endemics are found in
other than sandstone, they nest in caves and such so where ever
there are such structures within there range they will use it.
