Southern Emuwrens are distributed widely along
the border in open forests with damp shrubberies and tussuck grasses (especially
Sorghum leiocladum). My records near the area described by Laurie
include Mt Clunie and Beaury State Forests (several sites each SF) since 1980
and Wilson's Peak in 1984.
In one instance just north of Mt Clunie in 1994
the birds were tickable in Qld. Elsewhere in the State they are reliable
at Cooloola NP.
In the New England Tablelands of NE NSW they are
present in the Tenterfield district as well as Gibraltar Range. I've seen
them at high elevations also at Mt Boss near Wauchope.
