Tom,
I have spent a few days around Christmas at my inlaws at Pennant Hills
(Blackbutt avenue) just near Pennant Hills park and upper Lane Cove NP. The
weather hasn't been great for walking but I am back in a few days and I will
probably head down the same way around New Years.
I regularly (though not every trip) see Gang Gangs around their house - the
native nursery is just around the corner. This trip I think I have heard gang
gangs a couple of times (though difficult amongst the many sulphur-cresteds)
but I also don't pay much attention as I get them in my backyard at this time
of year in Albury as well.
I will let you know once I return if the are definitely about.
Cheers,
Peter
