White cheeked and new Hollands

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

In north-east New South Wales the New Holland Honeyeater is a high country 
bird (being a Bassian species) and the White-cheeked Honeyeater is a lowland 
species.  I have had both species occasionally in the Washpool National 
Park, where the New Holland is the more regular species.  There have been 2 
or 3 observations on the coast of New Holland Honeyeaters but they are, 
generally, absent there.  Presumably the situation in southern Queensland 
would be similar.
