Dear Shane
Where near Barrington Tops? - it's a big area! Rufous Scrub- birds are
around at Gloucester Tops, off the Kiripit Trail at the very top after
the NPSW camping area. But if it is wet, rainy, snowly or overcast, you
won't get up there and if you do, you won't see much. RSBs are usually
heard rather than seen, and often not heard at all at this time of year
- try September onwards. Interesting areas are the Alleyn Valley and
Chichester Dam, Gloucester Tops, Copeland Tops. Cheap place to stay is
the Gloucester Caravan park, or there are a couple of motels in town,
but will you be in Glos?
