Hi Stuart, I had them near the junction of Dalrymple Rd with Snake Rd, up along
Snake Rd as far as 400 mtrs - this was in late JUNE 2010 so is a WINTER
site.Look for mistletoe - that's what they were feeding on at the time. Good
luck!! Martin Cachard, Cairns, 0428 782 808.

Subject: Eungella Honeyeater
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
