Hi Christina (long time no speak!!),
I would hit Sundown NP for Turq's - it's on the Qld side of the NSW border,
west of Tenterfield & Stanthorpe. Best area for them I've found in Sundown
is in and around that camp area in the south-west section of the NP - just
turn west from Tenterfield & then north at Mole River, which is some 50-odd
kms west of Tenterfield. The NP entrance to use to hit this particular spot
is not too far along the road heading north form Mole River once you cross
the Qld border. If you are lucky, you will have Turq's in the lovely grassy
camp area itself - or around the little dam off to the north side of the rd
into the camp area, about a km or 2 before you actually reach the camp area
itself. This dam is well worth a late arvi or early morn stake-out if
needed. For Eungella HE, you will most likely find them into the mistletoe
at this time of year - that's when I got my first one in the 3rd week of
June some years back!! Try the junction of Snake Rd-Dalrymple Rd, & up along
Snake Rd itself. The mistletoe is pretty obvious & low down in the roadside
trees there - good luck!
For Cassowary, you would be dreadfully unlucky if you were to miss them
around Mission Beach - but if you do miss out there, then hit Etty Bay, just
south of Innisfail... For Albert's LB, I'd first hit the Border Ranges NP
(NSW) , & then onto Lamington NP (QLD) on the O'Reilly's Rd, if you miss out
at Border Ranges. At Lamington NP, anywhere in the last 5kms before you get
to O'Reilly's itself should prove worthy. If you miss them there then you
can still try Tambourine Mountain further north towards Brisbane...

Turquoise Parrot as we are heading towards Toowoomba on the way north. The
Eungella Honeyeater. The Cassowary I am hoping to get at Mission Beach. And
on the way back Albert's Lyrebird. Any help gratefully received!
