Birding-Aus Digest, Vol 43, Issue 13

[Michael Hunter <>]

Hi Laurie,
                To be pedantic, Southern States are those South of the Qld/ NT 
border in this context, NSW and Victoria in particular, but any contemporary 
Australia Bustard sightings in SA, or in WA South of Meekatharra would be 
interesting.

                 They were plenty around Broome, in the NT and Qld  25 years 
plus ago when we lived or travelled there, but like Roseate Terns, (almost 
wiped out in Aus waters by egg collecting in the name of traditional food) , 
Bustards then were under hunting pressure there. Best seen today around Mareeba 
as noted in another post.

                  Cheers

                         Michael
