I have a great desire, verging on compulsion, to take some photos of Sooty
Oystercatchers in North Queensland.
The background to this is my curiosity about the sub-species status (for
want of a better description) of Sooty Oystercatchers around Australia.
The current wisdom suggests (perhaps that should be "claims") that the
geographical 'division' between the two races in Queensland occurs around
the Tropic of Capricorn.
I have some doubts based on my personal photographic evidence,
so...........I would like to photograph some Sooty Oycs north of Rockhampton
(Emu Park to be more precise).
Actually, I would like to get some photos of Sootys from near Mackay or,
preferably, Bowen.

What I am asking is:

Are there any reasonably accessible locations between Rockhampton and Bowen
where Sooty Oystercatchers are presently in residence?
If so, would someone please pass the details of those locations on to me at
ingli...@tpg.com.au
When I say "reasonably accessible" I mean places which don't require serious
4 wheel driving or beach driving.

Cheers
