There are in fact four accepted records for Australia.
1. RAC case 111 Chandela Swamp, WA 12.07.1986.
2. BARC case 311 Cowans Pond, near Grafton, NSW, August 2000.
I was the last to see this bird but malicious rumours started by those that 
subsequently dipped that I'd scared it off are entirely without foundation!
3. BARC case 403 Darwin NT 19.10.2003.
4. BARC case 445 Parry's Lagoon, Wyndham, WA 23.11.2004.
