That is very sad news, Phil.
The last time I was chatting to Trevor, via email, he was seemingly on the
mend.
The birds and environment of Bribie Island, and further afield, have lost a
great advocate and the birding community has lost another "Good Bloke"!
My condolences to Kym and family.
Regards
John
