Found it, it's "Birding Sites" under "Come Birding":
http://birdlifephotography.org.au/come-birding/birding-locations
Here's a random example of the useful stuff in it. The entry for Barmah
(http://birdlifephotography.org.au/component/boca_birding_locations/showsite/12460-barmah)
has a link to a pdf guide to the area by the Echuca branch of BOCA, whatever
they're called now.
I'm sure lots of those resources linked to are gone or out of date by now, but
lots would still be very useful. Does eBird have a place to record links to
things like that?
