G'day Paul,
I suspect Kevin Bartram was the Australian Big Year record holder prior to
Sean, can't remember his total but hopefully he will respond to this post
with the answer. He did his without a car or drivers license, not suggesting
however that "without car" should become a separate category, but Roy
Wheeler would also fall into this cohort.
Cheers Jeff.

Hi birding-aussers,
Since Ruth and I completed our "VicTwitch" Big Year in Victoria last year, I
am interested in the history of Big Years in Australia. I can't find that
much information - presumably because Big Years are not pursued particularly
vigorously in Australia. Here is what I have:
Australian Records:
????: 535 Species: John McKean
1979: 545 Species: Roy Wheeler
2002: 703 Species: Sean Dooley
(All information from Sean Dooley's book, "The Big Twitch")
Victorian Records:
2006: 336 Species: John Harris
2009: 345 Species: Tim Dolby
2010: 389 Species: Paul Dodd & Ruth Woodrow
South Australian Records:
2010: ??? Species: Kay Parkin
Local Records:
2010: Hunter Valley: 343 Species: Mick Roderick
Does anyone have any other information, history or other details on birding
records in Australia?
