Tjupi Band played their hearts out for the crowd, even being joined on stage by Mayor Jeffrey McLaughlin, who got a reminder of how long it has been since he played hand drums, and what muscles he needs to use to play them. The bacon and egg sandwiches and coffee were popular, but café workers and volunteers kept the lines moving quickly. With the jumping castle, face painting and even a visit from Donald Duck the kids were able to have a barrel of fun while the adults enjoyed the live music. A great finale to a week of activities that the NAIDOC Committee should be proud of. Turn to pages 10-11 for more photo coverage.

On 22 February, the Tennant Creek Department of Resources (DoR) office welcomed new Livestock Biosecurity Officer, Greg Maguire. Greg is originally from Grafton, northern NSW, and after leaving school at the end of 1994, worked on a local cattle station for 4 years. After a taste of the beef industry, he then set off north and spent 6 years working on Mt Sanford in the VRD, 4 of these as Headstockman. At the end of 2004, Greg then transferred to Moolooloo Station where he worked for 18 months, again as Headstockman. He then decided to return to his homeland and for 12 months, was the Assistant Manager on a smaller place near Grafton. In 2007 Greg broadened his horizons and took on 4 months of work in America working on a ranch and a Thoroughbred Stud. On his return to Australia, Greg went back to Moolooloo as the bore runner/mechanic until the end of the season in 2007.

Yet it is hard to see how such a list can be compiled until each of the states and territories has a list of its own. Several state lists have appeared in the last two decades, and the only large gaps remaining are the birds of Queensland and the Northern Territory. In choosing the second as my subject, I have undertaken much the lighter task; for the avi­ fauna of the Territory is impoverished compared to Queensland's, and its literature is far smaller. The present work is a compendium of what has been published on the occurrence, status, habitat and breeding season of Northern Territory birds, augmented with my own field notes and those of Dr. D. L. Serventy. No attempt has been made to fill the numerous gaps in the record by writing to museums and observers for information or by personally exploring un­ worked regions.

  • Birds of the Northern Territory
    WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 7 Birds of tile I erritory Western Australian Museum Special Publication No. 7 Birds of the Northern Territory by G.M. Starr Perth 1977 EDITOR: A.F. LOVELL World List Abbreviation: Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. ISBN 0 7244 6281 3 ISSN 0083-873X Printed and published at the Western Australian Museum, Frands Street, Perth. 284411. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction 7 List of Birds 8 Gazetteer ". 105 Index 115 5 ---------------------------- ----~--- INTRODUCTION Ornithology in the Northern Territory has proceeded by fits and starts. The pioneering work of Gilbert, Stokes and Bynoe in 1839-41 was followed by many decades in which little or nothing was added to our knowledge of northern birds. Then came the great period 1894-1916, when Keartland, Dahl, Le Souef, Tunney, Hill, Barnard, Rogers and .McLennan laid the foundations of Northern Territory ornithology. The next half century was one of quiet consolidation. In 1967 I brought out a List of Northern Territory Birds (Spec. PubIs West. Aust. Mus. No. 4) which summarised our knowledge of distribution, relative abundance, habitat preferences, movements and breeding season. That paper was quickly rendered obsolete by a decade of intensive field work, notably by the Harold Hall Expedition to Arnhem Land etc., S.A. Parker and associates in Central Australia, D.N. Crawford and other CSIRO personnel in the far north, Julian Ford and colleagues in the far southwest, and W.H. Butler (on behalf of. the American Museum of Natural History) on Ellery Creek, the Roper and the Daly, and in the Pinkerton Range.
