The article says he was 40 km west of Derby - I don't think that is
place where people go looking for BGWs. There are probably a few
inaccuracies in the article - eg it says "The man's body was
discovered about 15 kilometres from the Meda cattle station residence
on a remote part of the 650-hectare property"
650 ha would seem to be pretty small for a Kimberly cattle station.

This morning the SMH is reporting the fatality of a birder in
northern Western Australia. Apparently his vehicle became bogged &
he died of heat & or thirst.
Now the righteous outcries will begin about how he should not have
gone on his own, should have hired an EPIRB & satellite phone,
should have filed a trip plan, what a fool he was, etc.
But before that starts I would just like to say that from what I can
conjecture from the news so far, he took a risk for his passion, it
ended badly, but he died living.
I admire him & hope he found the grasswren.
