See that's it! I live in the Lake Macquarie area and I was a kid back then
and I don't remember them either. I remember Eastern Rosellas, Galahs and
Sulphur-crested Cockatoos. I always thought of them a Queensland- northern
NSW bird. It is really interesting that Steve remembers them in Victoria. (
Steve - were they regulars then or visitors?) I remember seeing/hearing them
in a tree (80's or early 90's) at Warner's Bay and thinking WOW!!
