Fwd: [BIRDING-AUS] RFI Round Hill

["Peter Ewin" <>]

Riverina Region of NPWS (based at Griffith) should be contacted before going 
into Round Hill Nature Reserve. Under the NPWS definition a Nature Reserve 
has no public access except with the permission of NPWS (NR's are for 
scientific and educational purposes not for recreation). hey will have no 
problems with you accessing the reserve probably only asking for a species 
list in return. They may be able to tell you the best spots for bird 
watching, and will be able to inform you of local conditions and access (I 
would say Whooey Tank is the best spot for a trailer, but the wheat paddock 
area is also possible). Their contact number is (02) 6966 8100.
This is not a new rule and is particularly relevant at the moment wth the 
fire situation in NSW (if no one knows you are there, they can't assist you 
in an emergency situation).
Cheers,
Peter
