Our first camping spot was reached at Burton's 
Well, just in time to fix tent before dark. Here we had 
splendid water, a fine outlook, and a good centre to work 
from. 
While staying here, we climbed Mt. Kiangarow, 3,608 
feet, the upper part being covered with grass and also 
scattered wattles and grass trees. From here we could 
see past Kingaroy in the N.E., its peanut silo being 
plainly visible at 30 miles, with Dalby in the opposite 
direction almost as far, and Porter's Gap road visible to 
the N.W. 
The principal birds noted while at this camp were : — 
Shrike Tit, Little Green Pigeon, Cat Birds (numerous), 
Flame Robin, Podargus, Boobook Owl, Satin Bower Bird, 
Grey Thrush and also a Scrub Wren I shall refer to later. 
On Tuesday we moved to a spot near Mowbullan 
House, working thence in different directions, all the 
time being spent on long walks and taking photos, except 
Thursday, which was wet, so that bird study did not 
occupy all our time. 
On the Friday afternoon the change in the varieties 
of birds was particularly noticeable after reaching the 
foot of the range, when no less than 14 varieties were 
noticed in a short time, which hacT not been seen on the 
range ; I have marked these with an asterisk in my 
accompanying list. 
The list of birds which were noted both on the range 
and also below was comparatively small, being only 15. 
Of these few the Black Faced Flycatcher is one 
which is found in the sea coast scrub as well as nearly 
4,000 feet up on the Roberts Plateau, while of the others 
the Kookaburra, Whip Bird, Yellow Rumped Tit Warbler, 
Magpie, Pipit, Raven, Grey Thrush and Scrub Magpie 
are fairly ubiquitous. 
The Striped Honey Eater, a purely inland bird, is 
common in both the Kingaroy and Jondaryan districts, 
but was only heard once and not seen, on Mowbullan, the 
voice, however, is so distinctive as to be undoubted, and 
I knew it at once, though I had not heard it for years. 
A Robin which I saw was, I believe, the Flame Robin, 
but I only glimpsed it at Coolabunnia and on two occa- 
sions on the Bunyas, little time being given to identify it 
exactly, owing to its rapid movements. 
The Coach Whip Bird, not so frequent now in Coola- 
bunnia owing to the decreasing shelter, was abundant on 
the ranges; in fact, I never remember so many of these
