About 5 years ago some Indian Mynas appeared on Smiths Rd (down the west side of the Murrumbidgee R. about 10k from Tharwa.) I sent an email out on the Smiths Rd residents list on how they displace Rosellas and Galahs (own obs) and the mynas dissappeared.
 
Indian Mynas displaced the Crimson and Eastern Rosellas from my nest boxes about 20years ago but accupied the nest boxes again within a couple of months after I started trapping the mynas about 5years ago. I have only seen one myna in my area (SE Aranda) in the last three years.
 
I suggest sending a notice to the residents in the areas mention suggesting where a design for the PEE-GEE trap can be found or contacting CIMAG about the possibility of getting ready made ones.
