George Chapman and I spent some time in Central Australia last week. Among
finds were a number of families of Cinnamon Quail-thrush on the road to
Henbury Meteorite Craters, not far before the picnic area. Dusky Grasswrens
were seen at Santa Teresa Road and inside Gosse's Bluff Crater and Striated
Grasswren in front of the sunset viewing car park at Uluru. The highlight
was a day with Mark Carter, who seemed to know where to find everything,
including Flock Bronzewings, which came in to drink at a dam north of Alice
Springs not long
before dusk.
According to Mark the Uluru site is at present the only accessible and
dependable place for the Striated Grasswrens in the Territory.
