Simon, like a few birding-aus list members, I've been to Melaleuca a few 
times for the Orange-bellied Parrot Recovery Team summer volunteer program 
(partly run by Birds Australia?).  I've posted a summary of my trip/s 
there to the list about 10 years ago (?).  Have a check of the archives 
and you should find a few good trip reports.  Facilities are minimal 
(walkers hut and drop toilet) plus the airstrip and walking tracks down to 
the coast about 11 km away.

It's a fabulous part of Australia with plenty of endemics if you have time 
to hunt for them (button-grass plains etc).  I can heartily recommend 
spending time there.

If you do a web search (using Melaleuca and Orange-bellied Parrot for eg.) 
there is also some good information.

cheers, Martin
