I think I should have explained more clearly, the important thing to realize
is that the Western and Thick-billed are not actually on the ranges but on
the flat country.
I was just continuing on from Richards original post by saying he should
have gone to the Flinders not the Gawlers, neither species are actually on
the hills although they can be very close by. When I said Flinders I
actually meant adjacent places like Lyndhurst which sits at the top of that
range.
Short-tailed GW however is actually on the slopes of both ranges and nowhere
else.
Cheers Jeff.

Hi Steve, The bird at Whyallah is race myall of Western, same race Richard
saw in the Gawlers. Form modestus (ie the new species split) is widespread
in the Eyrean zone, which Jeff explains. I have seen lots of them north from
Lake Torrens in the Mt Lyndhurst area & right along the Oodnadatta Track,
especially near William Creek. Cheers Martin CachardCairns
