Gee thank you all so much for the info I visited Jondaryn yesterday and the
man that runs the pub told me he has people visit from overseas to find
them there is a reserve on Mount Tyson road which he says they have been
seen in. I went but no luck. I am in a group on fb and someone posted a pic
on it just a week ago and got quite obnoxious when I asked where it was
taken. He said Darling Downs. I have a feeling it was in or around
goondiwindi. I never knew about the salt bush so that gives me a clue too.
Am so excited and will definitely let you know if I find one. Thank you so
much
