OK, thanks for all the messages. Should I admit that now that I getting this response, I had seen some of these reports, but forgotten? Even so it is a fairly recent extension.

There is also a record in Richardson, ever so slightly South of Monash.

Thanks Philip, checking the eBird map shows a couple of sightings in Macarthur, which line up on roughly the same latitude as Stobie Pl Monash.  So roughly equal to the furthest S documented record.  Regards  Jack Holland

A contact today told me about a Blue-faced Honeyeater at his home at Stobie Place, Monash. Last week (as in about 17 March). He puts out bread on a tray and he took photos of the bird. I have the 2 photos copied to my phone. The identity is clear. It is shown with a Noisy Miner. Are there other records of the species having reached the south side of suburban Canberra?
