Can anyone suggest who might have constructed this? To give an idea of scale, the entrance is about 150mm across. There was no sign of occupancy that I could see with the bins from a few metres away and slightly below. The nest is only a few metres from the bitumen road up Mt McDonald, on a small ledge in a rockface formed by blasting for the road - you can see the remains of one of the blasting drill holes just to the left of the tree in the second photo.
