One possibility is that a few years ago, not sure how many but could be as
much as 10, there were I believe (I cannot confirm this and if the
information I received is incorrect, I apologise), some Magpie Geese
released by the Kyabram wildlife park into the wetlands around the property.

Hello all,
Today (26/11/05) I visisted Docker Swamp, which is in the King Valley, 20km
south of Wangaratta. To my surprise I observed a Magpie Goose foraging with
Australian Shelduck around the edge of the swamp. The bird appeared to be
an adult female. Where would this bird be from? The populations in northern
Australia seem to far away, perhaps it was from populations in south-west
Victoria (Werribee to Port Fairy). Any ideas? Other good sightings included
a pair of Whiskered Tern, an adult White-bellied Sea-eagle and over a 1000
Straw-necked and 400 White Ibis breeding with many recently fledged young.
Michael Ramsey, Broadford, Vic.
