Hi David,
Maria Island and Bruny Island are two nice 'touristy' spots that would
also give you a good chance at many on your list. Another nice
'touristy' activity (though a bit pricey) is to fly to Melaleuca, in
the south west, which is really your only chance at OBPs (and maybe
starting to get a bit late for them??).
40-spots - most Euc. viminalis woodlands on Bruny Island, but
especially in the north east of the Island. Similar woodlands on
Maria Island, but probably easiest at the Peter Murrell reserve, near
Kingston. Enter the top end of the reserve, off Huntingfield Rd, and
search the Euc.s around the dams on Coffee Creek.
Swift Parrots - try any flowering woodlands around Mt Nelson (Hobart
Suburb), South Bruny Island, Weilangta State Forest (Forest drive
between Copping and Orford is also fairly 'touristy').
Scrubtit - try Ferntree Bower, or any of the other rainforesty gullies
on Mt Wellington, or Sandspit River walk at Weilangta State Forest.
Otherwise, most denser rainforest areas (though we have seen one high
in a dead tree on the Dove Lake Circuit walk at Cradle Mountain!)
Pink Robin - again, most denser/moister forests. Weilangta, the Walk
into Snug Falls, gullies on Mt Welington, etc.
Most of these areas are in the south, as I guess most visitors come
there (or at least there), and you won't get 40-spots away from the
south. If you want suggestions in other areas of the state, let me
know, and I'll see what I can advise.
Happy Tassie birding,
John Tongue
Ulverstone, Tas.

Hi all,
About to take trip to Tasmania and would be grateful for any trip
reports or
info regarding the following birds, Forty Spotted Pardalote, Swift
Parrots,
Scrubtit, OBPs, Pink Robins. Also ways of combining interesting
touristy
venues with birding to keep non-birders happy.
Cheers
