Hi Louise,
I Have found the White-winged Fairy Wrens around the top end of Lake
Coolmunda near Inglewood.
Otherwise, they have been reported between Oakey and Jondaryan, best to
check Ebird for these reports.

hi Louise,
if I were you, I'd head westward from Toowoomba towards either the St Geogre
area, or more south-west towards the Mungindi/Dirranbandi districts...
I can't think of any particular sites off hand, but once you start to see
any saltbush, bluebush, or rolly-polly type vegetation by the roadside or
nearby to it, then I'd check them out.
someone else on here, who lives in or visits these districts more regularly
than I, may be able to be more specific with a location...
I would learn their call - it's not a hard one to remember, and is a very
mechanical reel that is very different to Red-backed, Superb and Variegated
F/w calls...
White-winged Fairy-wrens are one of the more abundant songbirds of our
inland areas nationally, but they do like the above vegetation-types...
and, you will see far more brown birds than bright blue & white ones too!
coming into this time of year, you will encounter many young brown birds,
brown females, and males in thier brown eclipse plumage too!
but when you find a group of them, hang in there and be patient, because
there will be a dominant male in his bright blue & white plumage with them
somewhere!!!
good luck, and please let me know how you go with it...

****** PS : if you stuggle to locate some in these districts, then just
keep driving inland until you do... **********

Hi there
I am a photographer searching for the wwfw.... I live in Brisbane and was
wondering where the best place would be to find them. Maybe around the oakey
toowoomba area?
Thanks
Louise
