Chris,
As old fashioned twitchers but not photographers, and having
criss-crossed Oz over fifty years, have never had trouble seeing Spinifex
birds. Just walk slowly, stand or sit very still when you hear them and they
will jump up to have a look. Usually in pairs. Taking a pic might be another
story, they don't stay up very long, but try walking away and using a telephoto
lens.
Some of the Grass wrens were our bête noir., but eventually got
them all.
Cheers
Michael
