Nullarbor Quail-thrush: its range is restricted to the Nullarbor Plain. Similar to Cinnamon QT, but has an upside-down "T" shape where black throat meets breast band. After constantly hiding behind the shrubs, finally showed up right in front of me. South Australia, Jan 2026.

Naretha Bluebonnet, first described in 1921. Found only in dry woodland habitats on the western fringe of the Nullarbor Plain. Driving 1,200 km from Adelaide is a small price to pay to see this beauty. Couldn’t have asked for a better end to 2025. South Australia, Dec 2025.
