On the NSW North Coast we have Swan Pool (Hat Head National Park), Swan Bay
(near Woodburn), Cockatoo Creek (Dundurrabin), Black Swan Drive (Coutts
Crossing), Swan Hill Drive and Kingfisher Place (Waterview Heights), Swallow
Road (South Grafton), Halcyon Drive (Eatonsville, Glen Eagle Road (Waterview
Heights) and Dovedale (Grafton). It is interesting that Glen Eagle Road has
a nesting pair of Square-tailed Kites, resident Wedge-tailed Eagles and,
until the trees were removed, a nesting pair of Collared Sparrowhawks.
Stephen Debus also saw a Black Falcon there some years back. There are a
number of streets in South Grafton with native tree names which were named
after they knocked down most of the remnant eucalypts that had survived
until the time of the subdivision, almost as if this was some sort of
compensation.
