Hi Dave,
In 1991 I managed to get out to No2 Bore, Davenport Downs Station (now
Astrebla NP) Qld with Pete Morris (Rob's brother) and though there were
plenty of juvenile letter-wings I didn't hear of too many 'eruptees' after
the fact (though I did go overseas for a couple of years)
I recall three at Bownville near Dalby, Qld around 1995-1996
Might be interesting to hear of any other sightings around the early
'nineties.
Tom
