I guess (though you did not say so) the point to
your note was that the bird was far inland (for that species), not that it was
flying over a main road. I have certainly often seen Brahminy Kites
over busy roads around Qld: (Wynnum, Cleveland, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast etc)
but not away from the coast, except sometimes along the Brisbane
River.

On Saturday (13 March) I was driving from
Toowoomba to Brisbane. I was surprised to see a Brahminy Kite soaring
at low level over the Ipswich Motorway between Riverview and
Goodna.
For Sydney readers (I don't know the other
capitals well enough), this is the equivalent of seeing a BK over the M4 at
Westmead.
