Mallee Ringneck in Central Coast NSW

["Peter Ewin" <>]

I am certain Alan will have a better idea of the eastern limit of Mallee 
Ringnecks (I know they are at Charcoal Tank near West Wyalong and I have a 
suspicion they are also just to the west of Parkes) so the ones at Bouddi 
will be escapees. I have seen Mallee Ringnecks on Wooloware Golf Course and 
one on a powerline about 50 metres from my house in Como (both southern 
Sydney).
Cheers,
Peter
