Hi Ausnetters,
Firstly, I would like to thank all those who
provided me with information of where to find birds on the Great Ocean Road and
in the Victorian Deserts.The information ,especially the suggestion to look up
the archives from Michael Norris was extremely helpful.
We found the Rufous Bristlebird both at Loch Ard
gorge and London Bridge, however, not during the day when there were hordes of
tourists. In both cases we went back to these sites at 7pm - with daylight
saving the sun set at about 7.40pm - and saw them on paths to the lookouts, in
one case only 5 m. away.At this time there were only one or two others apart
from ourselves.
Unfortunately, we did not have much time in the
desert parks.In the Hattah -Kulkyne Park Lake Mournpul was empty and Lake Hattah
had very little water however the night before we arrived here they had
36mm.rain on the Murray.
