Laurie

Thanks.  We are hoping for a return visit in the next few years, as our friends 
whose family we visited have now re-settled iin New South Wales from Arizona.

Regards,

Eric

Blue-faced would be my guess Eric.  People can make up all sorts of  
ames, so it may or may not be a local/folk name ...
Regards, Laurie.

 I was watching a program last night about people buying a home in  
 Noosa, QLD.  At one of the houses they looked at, there was a  
 birdfeeder with some fairly large honeyeaters that I could not ID on  
 a quick look (it has been 17 years since I last studied for a trip  
 to Oz).  The real estate agent referred to them as powder-faced  
 honeyeaters.  I was impressed as always with Australians' general  
 knowledge of nature, but could not recall such a bird or find it in  
 a list of honeyeaters.

 I assume it is a local name, and the only impression I recall is  
 some blue on the face, but it seemed more powdery than I would  
 expect from a blue-faced honeyeater.  Can anyone enlighten me as to  
 what these birds would have been.

 Thanks all.
