Additional findings<br />

Spinifex pigeons (Geophaps plumifera) (Plate 26) were recorded as far south as<br />

Adavale adjacent to the Blackwater River, which would be about the extent of their<br />

southern distribution.<br />

It is of significant interest that two northern quoll specimens (Dasuyrus hallucatus)<br />

(Plate 27), have been handed into DERM from the township of Tambo during the<br />

time of this project. As the town is surrounded by stock route with remnant<br />

vegetation, it is most probable that these specimens inhabited this habitat. These<br />

specimens would be the western most records in <strong>Queensland</strong> of this priority species.<br />
