Hi Jenny,
They crop up in all sorts of places - often farmland, and open woodlands. The
spots you mentioned should be good, and you could also try along the access
road to Anthony's beach, between Stanley and Smithton. Just north of Arthur
River Township, heading west into the heath should also be good for them, and
also possibly for Southern Emu-wren, Tawny-croned Honeyeater, etc. We have
found Dempster's Lookout, along the South Arthur Forest Drive reasonably
reliable for Ground PArrot, and Strahan Airfield is also good for Ground
Parrot, Emu-wren, Honeyeater and Blue-winged Parrot.
Cheers, and good searching,
John Tongue
