Carl - that area along Kerrapit Rd, from beyond the turn-off towards
Gloucester Falls, is the place to find RSB. I've seen (sometimes) and
heard birds at various places in from the road, anywhere along the road
from that turn-off. Not beyond the gate though.

Subject: RFI: Rufous Scrub-birds at Gloucester Tops
Hi All,
I managed to get to Gloucester Tops to look for the Rufous Scrub-birds
and Olive Whistlers over Easter. Unfortunately I found the information
regarding their location to be a little confusing.
Many previous reports indicate that Rufous Scrub-birds have been seen
approximately 1km along Kerripit Road. After driving along this road
for about 1km (from where it exits Gloucester Tops Road) I didn't come
across any suitable-looking habitat. However, there is a gate across
the road a few hundred metres further on, and access further along the
track from here is by foot only.
After a few hundred more metres the track finally reaches an area of
Antarctic Beech forest where there is some interpretive information
about Barrington Tops National Park. My impression (from examining topo
maps of the area) is that the Rufous Scrub-bird "site" is approximately
1km walk further west from this area. Is this correct?
Any information would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to visit
the area again later in the year.
Regards,
Carl Corden
