Hi Donald,
My son and I have done a few trips to the Victorian Mallee over recent
years.
At the main campground in Wyperfield National Park you commonly see both
Regent Parrots and Major Mitchells.
The Regent Parrots are usually flying over but the Majors forage around the
campground locale, particularly where She-Oaks & Cypress Pines are fond.
Also Rangers are stationed at both Wyperfeld and Hattah-Kulkyne NPs and
therefore usually around most weekends to assist you if necessary.
Regards Martin Woodward

Subject: Adelaide to Mildura Route A20 or B12 to Ouyen? Which
is the scenic parrot route?
Okay I think I am going to owe Russell and and a lot of others dinner and
beers or some sort of thing... Asking so many questions here..
>From the information I am gathering it would be wise to explore Hattah and
Pink Lakes areas near Mildura/Ooyen to search for Regent and Major Mitchells
this Sept. At this point I am considering giving Gluepot a miss.
>From Adelaide I could either go route A20 or travel south and direct using
route B12. Considering I may bring mates next year which would be the most
interesting route scenery and parrot wise?
I am betting there have been lots of great oz birders that have traveled
both and can offer some interesting counsel!
Cheers and thanks!
Don
