Drawing on personal recollection, I might add that in 1994 Alan
Scrymgeour (who hosted a COG field trip at his property) gave a short
presentation to COG on his house-dwelling WTT and Steve Stephinson made a visit
to photograph the very bird in its night possie, later displaying the results.

The scan on Martin's link appears to be some additional notes and
sketch, not part of the CBN article referred to. And yes Martin is correct, the
article from 1994 is from Alan Scrymgeour. Thanks Julian for your good work, it
explains and I now recall probably why I didn't cite references in the GBS
Report, the reason being that I must have been aware at the time of more than
one such observation and judged it not relevant to cite them all if the point
is established.

As an exercise taking about 30 minutes on what I hoped would
be a rainy afternoon I had a go at extracting the info on this topic
(White-throated Treecreepers roosting in civilization) from the digitised
Canberra Bird Notes CBN.
I might have missed some, but it demonstrates again what a great resource the
digitised CBN really is, especially with the aid of someone's good memory to
recall that a topic is covered 'somewhere'.

Chrono SUMMARY of White-throated Treecreeper mentions roosting in
