Hi Ed,
Point Addis is not a lighthouse - it is simply a point - the Rufous
Bristlebirds are found in the car park at the very end. In my opinion, the
Aireys Inlet Lighthouse is a better spot for Rufous Bristlebirds. Look along
the paths near the lighthouse - in particular, the path that leads from the
lighthouse alongside the lawn towards the gravel road.
Erskine Falls near Lorne has always proved reasonably reliable for Olive
Whistler for us. I'm not sure about Pink Robin, we've never seen them there
- but that would most likely be from lack of looking, rather than the birds
not being there! Sheoak Picnic Ground is another good spot in the Lorne
area, where you would be reasonably likely to find the whistler and possibly
the robin.
Good luck!

Subject: RFI: Angelsea-Lorne area
Hi all,
Another quick RFI I'm afraid - but having only moved to Melbourne recently I
still have a million questions.
I'm planning on a morning trip to the south coast on saturday with three
targets: Rufous Bristlebird, Olive Whistler and Pink Robin.
My plan (from what info I have found already) was to go to Point Addis
lighthouse for the bristlebirds (and Airey's Inlet if that fails), and then
to the rainforest area beyond Lorne up the Allenvale Rd for the whistlers
and robins.
If anyone has any recent info on these areas - or knows better spots in the
area (or closer to Melbourne) any information is really gratefully received.
Thanks as always,
Ed
