If one used the first edition exhaustively and went to every location
recommended, as I did myself with other SA birders, there can't be too many
new places for the new edition to cover. I sold my original once it was out
of print and had served its purpose.
I'm with Carl on this. And if it's got errors like the Yumbarra one where
you should go through the gate at the end of Foggo's Rd before turning left
( then travel 2.1km along the fence before turning right up a poorly marked
narrow track etc), Hm!

I am glad I did not rush out and buy T&T. I am always wary of books
with "Complete" in their titles anyway. I think I will stick with
Birdata, Eremaea and B-A's archives if I wish to discover where a
particular species may be found or what species are at a particular
location. Much more up to date.
Cheers,

Hi All,
We found a few minor discrepancies in the info for Yumbarra
Conservation Reserve in SA. Nothing too major, but it could be
confusing when the notes say to turn left at the Dog fence before
travelling a few km to the gate through the fence, when the gate is
actually at the point Foggo's Road reaches the dog fence. Apart from
that, just a few name discrepancies. in this listing.
HAven't really tried out many of the others - though I did note Bob's
point about the unusual way Tasmania is sometimes handled!! (Didn't
want to appear too testy, or mention Brisbane Commonwealth Games :)
Cheers,
