I read an article a few days ago about how the
drought had been well and truly broken in an area in northern NSW. I heard
tha statement from a farmer that the Mitchell Grass was going mad in the
area. I remember that the mummified corpse of a Night Parrot was found in
an area where the Mitchell grass had produced seed.
Given how dry the rest of the country is, it might
offer a good chance to find a night parrot to visit the dams in the
area.
Just a thought. Any other thoughts?
