Hi Stephen,
We used to live there, and even put together a form of 'bird route'
leaflet. They used to have it at the Info centre, but that was a few
years ago, now, so they probably don't stock them any more. Peter
Sommerlad, in Tenterfield, is a great source of local info (ask
around for him, or check phone book for his number), but some of the
places we found good were as follows:
The TSR by the Highway, just on the southern outskirts of town, the
town water supply, just to the south East, Bush around Mt. McKenzie,
a bush reserve just across the railway line to the West (on the way
to Mt McKenzie), a Bushland reserve(Tenterfield Park) just on the
south east of town (off the edge of town streets).
Further afield, any of the Mole River Drives, Bolivia Hill Nature
reserve, Hillcrest Dam (on the way to BAld Rock), Various places
along the Mt Lindsay Highway, Winfields Creek (in forestry to East -
a bit hard to find, but ask around), Basket Swamp, and nearby
'Desert' area, and Woolool Wooloolni, Bald Rock National Park, Boonoo
Boonoo National Park, Forestland Forest Drive, Rocky River Drive are
all very good. Really, just about anywhere you go driving out of
Tenterfield, you'll come across good birding areas!
Hope this brief account might be a little bit helpful. Sorry it's
not more specific, but it is some years since we left there.
Cheers.
John Tongue
Ulverstone, Tas.

Hi fellow birders
Just a quickie: I've a few days planned down at Tenterfield next
week and
would appreciate any info on tick lists or good spots to try in the
area.
Good birding to you all, regards
Steven
