The ferals are consistent with perth, but the paucity of waterfowl rules
out bibra or herdsmen lakes [list would have included various grebes,
diving ducks, reed and mud birds such as crakes].
To me it looks like a darling range list at a spot that includes a bit
of water - possibly one of the reservoirs like mundaring weir or glen
brook dam. Wungong dam might have been a possibility if the list had
included fairy wrens, firetails and robins there.
Regards, Laurie.
