Hi,

We had some guests who stayed with us recently who had spent a few nights in early June at Broken River Resort at Eungella. After spending two mornings searching for Eungella Honeyeaters at all the known spots with no success, they found them feeding on the flowering callistemons in the resort grounds.

Hope this may help with both your requests!

Cheers.

I look like having some time in Mackay on the way home to Melbourne on 
Thursday/Friday this week and would like to see Eungella Honeyeater.  There is 
some good information in the Birding-Aus archive about where to see them, 
however the discussion about seasonal movements is what I am a bit concerned 
about.  The sites I have gleaned so far that have worked for people recently 
are:


*         The junction of Dalrymple Rd with Snake Rd (thanks Martin Cachard)

*         Roughly 17 km along Dalrymple Road (thanks Fiona)

*         The Thomas and Thomas site: "When you reach the top of the steep 
escarpment, bear right on to Dalrymple Road and follow it for 16 km, then turn left down 
Chelmans road and follow this to where it ends at a forestry gate. Park here and walk 
through the gate, following the overgrown track" (thanks Dominic (especially because 
I don't have Thomas and Thomas handy!)

*         Diggings Road the following day about half way up the hill before the 
abrupt left turn (thanks Graeme Stevens, who also found it at the above 
mentioned gate).

However most of these are not winter sites and I read that they might move to 
lower country during the winter.  Therefore I was wondering if anyone has 
winter specific information or recent sightings that they might like to share.

Oh, and I am also looking for a place to stay in Eungella/Mackay on Thursday 
night.

Thanks in advance,

Stuart
