		Australian troops formed part of Anzac (the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps), and took part in many of the crucial battles of the war, most notably in the Gallipoli campaign.
		Australians were more concerned to get their forces home as quickly as possible and to get back to the problem of developing the continent and improving social conditions.
		February 1942 saw the surrender of 15,000 Australian troops to the Japanese at the fall of Singapore, the bombing of Darwin on the Australian mainland, and the recall by Curtin of two of the three Australian divisions in the Middle East.

	Brown Treecreeper
		The Brown Treecreeper has a loud "spink" call, which is given either singly or in a series, and normally betrays its presence before the bird is seen.
		Young Brown Treecreepers resemble the adults, but are duller, have less obvious stripes on the underparts and the lower belly is a pale rufous colour.
		Of the seven treecreepers found in the world, six are found in Australia (the seventh is found in New Guinea).

	Treecreepers
		The Brown Treecreeper (left) prefers eucalyptus groves but is found in a wide variety of open woodlands in eastern and southeastern Australia.
		It is clear that Australasian Treecreepers are part of the great Australasian radiation, but their exact position is still unclear.
		Treecreepers forage on the trunks and branches as the bird ascends using only its feet (they do not use their tail as a prop, as to Holarctic tree-creepers or woodpeckers).

		For example, almost any land habitat offers a niche for a small bird that specialises in finding small insects: the form best fitted to that task is one with long legs for agility and obstacle clearance, moderate-sized wings optimised for quick, short flight, and a large, upright tail for rapid changes of direction.
		In consequence, the unrelated birds that fill that niche in the (North and South America) Americas and in Australia look and act as though they were close relatives.

		This type of rainforest, which has affinities with Australian temperate rainforests at higher latitudes and with montane rainforests of New Guinea and Indonesia, is restricted within tropical Australia to a few small sites on exposed mountain tops, all within the region.
		The area is a stronghold for Australian members of the Proteaceae, with 13 genera and 40 species locally endemic, including Placospermum coriaceum, one of the most primitive members of this family (Johnson and Briggs, 1975).
		Of the 33 species of bats present, nine are Australian endemics and one is locally endemic.

	White-Browed Treecreeper, Climacteris affinis. No.69 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The White-browed Treecreeper is usually silent, but it does have a call of cricket-like trills and a strident chirrup song that is repeated by the male from a vantage point.
		In Victoria, White-browed Treecreepers are restricted to localised populations in regenerating native pine (Callitris spp.) and/or Buloke (Allocasuarina luehmannii) and Belah (Casuarina pauper) woodlands, or in fairly dense thickets of smaller shrubs, including Sugarwood (Myoporum platycarpum), Weeping Pittosporum (Pittosporum phillyraeoides), Small Cooba (Acacia ligulata), Umbrella Wattle (A. osswaldii) and Slender Hopbush (Dodonaea viscosa spp.
		Ensure that White-browed Treecreeper habitat is protected from all fires and that it is identified on fire management plans and maps, until the implications of management burns are understood.

		The demography and cooperative breeding behaviour of the rufous treecreeper, Climacteris rufa
		I examined the demography and cooperative breeding behaviour of the rufous treecreeper, Climacteris rufa, in the south-west of Western Australia.
		Cooperative breeding also appears to be influenced by habitat saturation and a cost–benefit trade-off between remaining as a helper in high-quality territories and dispersing to poorer-quality territories where reproductive success may be low.

		It is unrelated to the northern hemisphere treecreepers.
		It nests in a hole and lays two or three eggs.

		Stochastic metapopulation models of the White-throated Treecreeper (Cormobates leucophaea) and the Red-browed Treecreeper (Climacteris erythrops) were developed in a system of 39 remnant patches of eucalypt forest in southeastern New South Wales, Australia.
		The modified models predicted that the White-throated Treecreeper would be likely to persist over the next 100 years in most of the 39 patches.
		In contrast, the Red-browed Treecreeper was predicted to become extinct in most patches within approximately 50 years of fragmentation.

		The biggest treat was being there, the second treat were the trips into the never ending variety of habitats, and the third treat was seeing those elusive "little birds" in a casual way where they could be enjoyed over and over again.

		Cooperative breeding is a type of sociality seen in some birds and mammals; cooperative breeders are characterized by both greater philopatry and high variance in reproductive success relative to non-cooperative species.
		This study uses two Australian bird species, the cooperatively breeding Brown Treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus) and the non-cooperative White-throated Treecreeper (Cormobates leucophaea), to test the predictions stated above.
		The investigators will collect data on current levels of philopatry and variance in reproductive success in the two species, while simultaneously analyzing genetic data at varying spatial scales, ranging from local to landscape levels.

		After lunch, and less optimistic than before, we continued our efforts and much to our amazement, all came face-to-face with a gorgeous male Red-lored Whistler, which we were able to watch at leisure as it fed quietly, often on the ground.
		A long walk along a beach paid off with fantastic views of a rare Hooded Plover and lunch was an interesting affair as several of the group were literally mugged by bold Silver Gulls and Crimson Rosellas.
		Rufous Treecreeper, Western Yellow Robin and Blue-breasted Fairywren were all added (three western species that we were not expecting to see) and we had more opportunities to study Chestnut Quail-Thrush and Crested Bellbird, but alas, still no Southern Scrub-Robins (presumably in decline due to the drought?) and no sign of Purple-gaped Honeyeater.
