For those who still wish to see them, I suggest you
arrive before 7.30am. As Steve Holiday said, follow the main track past the
information board, stock yards etc etc. Eventually the track swings south-east
and starts to run parallel to the fence that borders the southern edge of the
eastern part of the reserve. Continue following the track for a bit further,
then you should see a fairly distinct line of trees running roughly north-south.
There are open areas to the east and west of this, with a gas pipeline running
through the middle of it, marked by yellow signs.
Walk northwards up the eastern side of the line of
taller trees (taller tree line only about 10 meters wide) line for maybe
150-200 metres (taller trees on your left, saplings on your right) and before
you get to the dam on western edge of the trees, you should see a one and a half
meter spindly acacia just on the right side of the foot track. It has
sharp triangular leaves lining the branches). At that point turn due east
and walk 75 meters to a dead tree. There are a couple of dead trees but
this one about 7 or 8 meters high has been dead the longest.
The Lorikeets seem to return frequently to this tree to preen.
