Sean,
Sorry to be negative about your interesting
account, but I must put in the following warning. Camping near bores is
inadvisable. Cattle are quite easily scared, and there is no quicker way
of getting cattlemen offside than interfering with their cattle's access to
water.
Bad luck about the Spinifex Birds. My
experience has been that they are easy find along the Santa Teresa Road, much
more so than emu-wrens.

Camped that night by a bore, (nice chap really)
hoping that it would be visited by Flock Bronzewing coming in for a drink in
the evening or at first light, but apart from some cattle doing their best
midnight impersonation of a backpacker killer, nothing came near the bore.
