It reads to me that they found "rare fossils" AND they found "bird
species not yet recorded" AND they found "landscape sheathed by lush
beds of plants and flowers" I suppose the logical thing would be to
read the article that was published in The Weekend Australian Magazine.
Cheers,

"They found rare fossils, bird species not yet recorded and landscape

peace, and an absence of the tracks of man."

Hi Lorne,
Having now looked at the article, it seems to me they are
suggesting a new
species of bird fossil, not a living bird. For those interested in
making
their own mind up, the article is below.

Hello bird gang,
A feature article by Nicolas Rothwell that appeared in The Australian
newspaper last Saturday, on a recent expedition deep into the remote
salty reaches of northern South Australia (at the southern end of the
Simpson Desert) was fascinating. Apparently, researchers/
scientists on
the field excursion have discovered 'bird species not yet recorded'
(actual quote) at Kallakoopah Creek! This is thrilling. I'd be
fascinated to know what the team unearthed. Perhaps a new grasswren,
chat or whiteface!
Does anyone know anything more about this? I can imagine the new
discoveries are being kept top secret.
Lorne
