Thanks for setting me straight on the Weka, Andrew.  I saw they were on the introduced list for tassie, so was wondering if they'd established any viable populations over there.  Seems not by what your saying.

cheers,

Peter

Yes, they were introduced to Macquarie Island - notionally part of Tasmania
- over 100 years ago and were eradicated about 20 years ago.
