Hi Richard and all,
In answer to your second question, Eungella is pronounced
"YUNGLE-A"
(like "JUNGLE-A" by us locals(in Mackay). However I believe the
pronunciation of the north east NSW town of the same name (Eungella)
is "YOU-EN-GELLA", But you sure won't find Lichenostomus hindwoodi
around there!

Les Thyer
