Everyone,

Nick Livanos and I will be spending 2 weeks in November birding around the 
above mentioned areas. This is our first trip 'north' and want to see 
everything these areas have to offer. We're mainly focusing on the Mackay area 
with many local species being ticks for us.
We're desperately seeking local contacts who can give us the best spots and 
maybe/possibly/hopefully show us around.
Of course we'll take any information we can get so feel free to send me your 
lists and sightings.
Our plan is to spend 2 days driving to Mackay via the inland route, 4-6 days in 
the Mackay area (birding within 150km), 2-3 nights in Rockhampton and the 
remaining time around Sunshine coast / Brisbane area.
My appologises for the following list but these are our target species. Some 
maybe ridiculously out of range or very hard to find but we're hopeful.

Orange-footed Scrubfowl
Green Pygmy-goose
Great-billed Heron ??
Pied Heron ??
Bush-hen
Red-backed Button-quail ??
Tropical Terns / Boobies
Pied Imperial-pigeon
Superb Fruit-dove
Little Bronze-cuckoo
Barking Owl
Marbled Frogmouth
White-throated / Large-tailed Nightjar
Aust. Swiftlet
Little Kingfisher ??
Buff-breasted Paradise-kingfisher ??????
Large-billed Gerygone ??
Fairy Gerygone
Helmeted Friarbird
White-gaped Honeyeater ??
Eungella Honeyeater
Yellow Honeyeater
Bar-breasted Honeyeater
Rufous-throated Honeyeater ??
Dusky Honeyeater
Yellow Chat (Rocky)
Lemon-bellied Flycatcher
Mangrove Robin ?
White-browed Robin
Mangrove Golden Whistler ??
Shining Flycatcher ??
Barred Cuckoo-shrike
Black Butcherbird
Great Bowerbird
Olive-backed Sunbird
Zitting Cisticola
Metallic Starling

Once again sorry for the huge list but being our first visit we're keen to see 
all.

I'll be sending out another RFI closer to the date but would love some early 
info.

Thanks in advance,
