Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Emu, 1912: A Quarterly Magazine to Popularize the Study and Protection of Native Birds
The writer spent the winter of 1906 on the north-eastern spurs, amid what was then virgin bush, and in the daily walks entailed in supervising the felling of part of some acres had excellent opportunities of observing its birds. Another acres were felled in the same locality during the winter of 1907, when the writer was superintending a block of acres on the southern spurs - this latter in somewhat higher country, running up to about feet. Above this the country is too poor and rough to warrant further Operations for the present, and it is to be hoped will remain for many years a sanctuary for some of those rarer birds I had the pleasure of meeting there.
