The South Australian Ornithological Association Newsletter No 173, March 00 - Birds Record Section lists " 1 x Common Myna 3 km South of Bool Lagoon, SE SA (This bird was subsequently shot!)".

Cairns - Melbourne observant locals & visitors will know why Common Mynas are called Avian Cane Toads (Pat O'Malley's very accurate description).

Pizzey & Knight give the distribution of ACTs in Southern Australia as Melbourne - Ballarat. Bool Lagoon is some 280 km West - a significant extension.

Are there any studies on the rate of expansion of ACTs in Oz or any actions to limit their expansion.
What should/can be done and how can birding-aus members assist.
