Chris/David, I was up at Kamarooka State Park (North-East
of Bendigo) a week ago, and counted a dozen or so Musk
Lorikeets feeding on the nectar/blossom of the Kamarooka
Mallees on the south border of the park. They have been
flowering for months, so I don't know why it's taken the
Lorikeets so long to find them. No sign of the Yellow Tufted
Honeyeaters that normally frequent this area though.
