HI GRANT.

heres some help on some of the species you want around Brisbane


Red-backed Fairy-wren - almost a certainty at the Eagleby Wetlands -  
access from Logan Street Eagleby - walk down to the main pond towards  
the hide and there are always pairs around in the cane grass etc. Also  
often seen at Oxley Common, Sherwood Rd, Rocklea. Also at the  
Karawatha Forest park entrance on Illaweena Street, Drewvale.
Collared Kingfisher - best place I know around Brisbane is at the  
Wynnum boardwalk area - not sure of the exact address but its at the  
end of the foreshore at North Wynnum - there are a number of resident  
pairs along the boardwalk.
Albert's Lyrebird - I saw a number very recently at Mt Tamborine on  
the Witches Falls walk - start the walk from the carpark, along the  
top track in front of the houses after you pass the small cemetery -  
here I saw up to six birds, and were seen subsequently by others  
recently.
Barred Cuckoo-shrike - up till two weeks ago they were on Gold Creek  
Road at Brookfield. Drive as far as you can till you come to the Gold  
Creek Reservoir gates - stop the car and check the high fruiting trees  
around you and walking away from the gates - I saw them on two recent  
visits.

cheers
