This sounds like it might be an interesting place to have a look tomorrow before / after Tidbinbilla. Where exactly is this place (not a native Canberran, so still struggling with directions sometimes)?

I am going to head up to Tidbinbilla tomorrow after what Ben said:
narrabunda hill
pinnacle used to have a few
a place which was burnt a year ago, is open and has short grass
they are always at tidbinbilla
at the picnic ground before the wetlands

Any clues / suggestions for this trip before then?

BTW Happy Easter everyone.

Some sightings on Good Friday morning near the Yankee Hat car park and along the Gudgenby Bush Regeneration track (Old Boboyan Rd):
 
Hooded robin: 1 male (first HR I’ve seen at this site)
Scarlet robin: pair
Lots of Flame robins
Southern whiteface: 3 foraging on ground with Yellow-rumped thornbills.
Diamond firetail: 6+
Golden whistler: 1 heard
Brown treecreeper: 2 seen, more heard
Dusky woodswallow: 12+
 
Also small parties of Yellow-faced HEs, and larger numbers of White-naped near the Old Boyan Rd turning. The WN HEs didn’t seem to be moving anywhere.
