I agree Maris!!
But Tones is getting on in years..... I was walking around looking for the
bird in 39oC a couple of days before Chrsitsmas, with my wife who isn't
really into birds yet (but I'm still working on it). We had to catch two
trains and a bus to get there as we were not going to pay $350+ for a hire
car for two days... We walked about 3kms in all from the nearest bus stop
on Wanneroo Rd and back.
Cheers
John
