Furthermore to my sighting of a Brush-tailed Rabbit-rat.  At the local 
volunteer fire brigade meeting a couple of weeks ago I asked whether anyone had 
seen this animal, and it turns out that some have, including a neighbour who 
caught one on our property some year ago.  

Also a couple of others present have noted Gouldian Finches on their property.  
The birds may  be drawn to the Alloteropsis semialata, one of the few grasses 
to be seeding at this time of year; it’s very prevalent around here.

Late one night a couple of weeks ago I saw a Brush-tailed Rabbit-rat on a 
Darwin River road.  There is one other record of what sounds like this animal 
from this area, from a local man.  

If any Birding Aussers are in the vicinity of Darwin River could you please let 
me know of any sightings?

Thanks
Denise
