Hi Bob & Sadhana
Firstly - congratulations & best wishes on the start of your big 'round
Australia' odyssey!
I think Wyperfeld is probably a good southerly mark for Mulgas & Pink
Cockies, but Crested Bellbirds are found south to just north of Ballarat in
Victoria (Clunes-Talbot area), and used to occur at Long Forest between
Bacchus Marsh & Melton.
I'm jealous of you being based in the mallee for a while - what a lovely
place to be at this time of year ......
Cheers -- Lawrie
