Hi John and others,
I am chasing up all the Birding, Ecological and Transport avenues to see if
I can get any positive hits. A couple of the local light plane owners
apparently have also been to Tassie. Still have to confirm on that

Hi all,
If Terry does have Yellow Wattlebirds in Orange, as seems to be the
Case, it may be interesting for someone from Birds Australia (Rarities
Committee???) to investigate the case, and see if any "reason" can be
Uncovered.
After all, we're not sure we want to relinquish one of our endemics!
John Tongue,
Hobart.
