I recently saw two small flocks of Gang Gang Cockatoos on consecutive days
at Cabbage Tree Creek Reserve in East Gippsland. The Cabbage Tree Creek
Reserve is about 85km or an hour's drive from Lakes Entrance. You can get
an excellent cooked breakfast in the Snowy River Cafe in Orbost on the way
and probably spot a Blackbird or two
On your way back to Melbourne from Beechworth, turn off the freeway to
Quarry Track in the Warby Ranges. It's a pleasant walk and you should see
plenty of Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters, Eastern Yellow Robins and possibly
Turquoise Parrots.
Eastern Rosellas and Red Rumped Parrots. are fairly common roadside birds
and Musk Lorikeets will be wherever there's blossom.

[Birding-Aus] RFI Melbourne &
Eastern Vic
I am planning 6 days five nights in Melb and east with my partner (she's
non-birding and if not anti then prone to resentful. ie little chance of a
trip to a sewerage farm or mudflat *sigh*). It'll consist of 3 days in Melb
and a day heading to Lakes Entrance then a day heading to Beechworth and a
day heading back to Melb for a 9pm flight. This is planned for early - mid
Feb. I am from Brisbane and spend a lot of time in Central Queensland but
my south east list is pretty empty. Off the top of my head Gang Gang
Cockatoo, Yellow Tufted HE, Eastern Rosella, Musk Lorikeet, Red Rumped
Parrot and Blackbird completes my southern species list (not even Fairy
Penguins but I have slipped them into the itinerary) so I'll be happy to
pick up any low hanging fruit as we charge about the countryside going to
wineries, shops and galleries. Any suggestions for how to maximise my
birding around this would be gratefully recieved.
Cheers Tony
