Hi Alan and Murray,

Good advice but having flown over the Bulloo Overflow about a week ago, I
suspect that the Adelaide Gate site is under water. 
Koonchera Dune is also on private property and is now strictly off limits.

Regards,
Allan

Hi Murray and others,

I hope this helps:

You are not allowed on to the Pyampa property at all. It is off limits: FULL
STOP. Do not go there.
An alternative site for Grey Grasswren: near Adelaide Gate about 100kms NE
of Tibooburra. 

To visit, it is essential to first obtain permission from the local
landowner Bill O'Connor who lives at Narriearra Homestead (Tel: + 61 8 8091
3547). WHY? Bill sometimes takes pig-shooting parties to the birding area
and he does not want any dead birders. As a requirement for birding here you
must call in at the homestead that is practically en route. 

It is very important to avoid the road immediately adjacent / alongside the
Dog Fence on the QLD / NSW border for Occupational Health & Safety reasons.
This is critical; offenders are very likely to be prosecuted. Keep to the
rough track below and away from the fence. Acting dumb will not work here!

Cheers

Alan
