Hi Murray and others,
I hope this helps:
You are not allowed on to the Pyampa property at all. It is off limits: FULL
STOP. Do not go there.
An alternative site for Grey Grasswren: near Adelaide Gate about 100kms NE of
Tibooburra.
To visit, it is essential to first obtain permission from the local landowner
Bill O’Connor who lives at Narriearra Homestead (Tel: + 61 8 8091 3547). WHY?
Bill sometimes takes pig-shooting parties to the birding area and he does not
want any dead birders. As a requirement for birding here you must call in at
the homestead that is practically en route.
It is very important to avoid the road immediately adjacent / alongside the Dog
Fence on the QLD / NSW border for Occupational Health & Safety reasons. This is
critical; offenders are very likely to be prosecuted. Keep to the rough track
below and away from the fence. Acting dumb will not work here!
Cheers
Alan

G'day All,
I'm about to take off for a lovely drive to see our fantastic desert areas
again and welcome any suggestions re current conditions and recommendations to
observe some of the harder to see inland birds. Would like to see Grey
Grasswren, Flock Bronzewing, and hold a slight hope that a 'falcon that is grey
in colour' might deem to show himself.
Regarding Grey Grasswren I understand that there are still difficulties
regarding the Onepah site, and hence would be likely to have a look around
Noccundra and near Ballera. I might end up going as far as Birdsville but would
like to hear from somebody specifically regarding Koonchera Dune on the
BIrdsville Track and whether it is still a good site for Grey Grasswren.
On the way home I may also spend some time in the Riverina and again would
appreciate any suggestions of rarer birds currently observable in this area.
Cheers,
Murray Hunt
