G'day Grant,

You might get the two Mt Isa grasswrens on the same day, so perhaps you can spend 2 nights at Lawn Hill chasing PCFWs etc.

Grey GWs are a chance in flooded lignum areas. The one I say was at a wetland beside the Birdsville track about 70 km south of the border. Letterwings should be findable on the road between Boulia and Bedourie [why are you going via Longreach?].

Regards, Laurie.

Morning all,

Heading up to Mt. Isa on the 9th of July looking for Grasswrens and other goodies. Our route will be:
Maitland - Mitchell
Mitchell - Winton
3 nights in Winton
Winton - Mt. Isa
5 nights in Mt. isa
Mt. Isa - Longreach
Longreach - Thargamindah
Thargamindah - Tibooburra
2 nights in Tibooburra
Tibooburra - Broken Hill
Broken Hill - Maitland

We pretty much have all the tips we need for the Winton area thanks to Roy Sonnenberg and Mick Roderick but if anyone else has recent information for this area, particularly spots for Striated Grasswren and Inland Dotterel that would be great. We also have the known spots for Kalkadoon and Carpentarian Grasswren around Mt. Isa but once again if anyone has some recent info that would be great as well.

What we would really like is information for the Western Qld/NW NSW part of our trip. We are very interested in seeing the following:
Letter-winged Kite
Red-chested Button-quail
Inland Dotterel
Grey Grasswren (difficult on the Copper? Chances?
Rufous Fieldwren
Gibberbird
Chirruping Wedgebill
Cinnamon Quail-thrush

Lastly, are there any Yellow Chats in the Mt. Isa area? Long shot but worth asking.

Many thanks,
Grant Broise
