	Grey Currawong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Grey Currawongs are close relations of the common Pied Currawong of the eastern seaboard of Australia and the Black Currawong which is restricted to Tasmania.
		While the Pied Currawong is a common resident of habited areas and has become accustomed to urban life, the Grey Currawong remains wary of humans.
		The Grey Currawong is the larger of the two, but it is the Pied Currawong’s aggression that has made it the scourge of Australia’s smaller birdlife.

	Workers Online : Review : 1999 - Issue 7 : Currawong Beach Cottages
		Currawong is a holiday resort owned by the NSW Labor Council, located on Pittwater in Sydney's northern suburbs, between The Basin and Mackerel Beach and backing onto Ku-rin-gai Chase National Park.
		Currawong is secluded, peaceful, un-crowded and stunningly beautiful, but what makes it unique is the fact that it's owned by the Union movement and has been run with a view to providing holidays for workers rather than being developed for profit maximisation.
		Currawong offers a holiday in a small and special place with likeminded souls, in which for a whole week you won't have to look for a parking place or argue with the kids about whether they can have another Magnum.

	Pied currawong predation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pied Currawongs and the decline of native birds.
		Currawongs seem to be generalist predators and do not appear to target any particular size or age range of avian prey.
		Nonetheless, it is not clear that currawongs are primarily responsible for predation on both nests and adult in all small native bird populations, nor are the possible compensatory effects of density-dependent population growth rates in small Australian passerines well-understood.

		Increasing numbers of pied currawongs along Australia's east coast are being seen as a threat to many small bird species, and a key factor in the spread of weeds into native bushland.
		The pied currawong is a large fl bird, 41-51cm (16-20") with white markings on the wing, rump, undertail and tip of tail.
		Currawongs steal baby wrens from their nest and tear them into small pieces for the young currawongs.

	CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Agricultural Research
		Currawong was released as a feed grade wheat for south-central New South Wales, with a 10% yield advantage over the highest yielding milling wheat with winter habit, Rosella.
		Currawong had a more rapid rate of grainfill, and/or a longer duration of grainfilling than other high-yielding winter wheats, leading to significantly heavier grain.
		From a plant breeding perspective, the high yield of Currawong is significant for demonstrating rapid genetic gain for yield in Australian winter wheats.

		“Currawong,” she said, “if you’d only stop swooping me for one day, or even for the time it takes for the shadow of the big western hill to travel from the foot of that tree-fern to the trunk of that cabbage tree palm over there, then I could tell you a story.
		Currawong pulled hard out of a swoop and glided onto a low branch of the tree beside Kookaburra’s.
		Indeed, it was a kookaburra and a currawong that led the first humans to this grove by the sound of swooping and cackling, but that is another story.

		Possibly currawongs do a service to vignerons and orchardists by eating nestling silver-eyes in the spring, however few farmers are very understanding when their crop is being destroyed later in the season.

	CURRAWONG.
		They seem to be addicted to the porridge because if I am late with breakfast,one Currawong in particular will come and sit on the balustrade and pointedly watch me eat my breakfast.
		The magpies and Currawongs usually share the food I put out without rancor though in the past I have seen very speedy and vicious air-fights.
		Currawongs have a variety of calls,but the sound I hear most frequently is a sort of loud 'guluk, guluk'with the second 'guluk' at a lower frequency.

	Birds - Black currawong
		The endemic fl currawong is common throughout the highlands of Tasmania in subalpine forest and woodland, often moving to lower altitudes during the winter.
		To ensure that they retain a natural and healthy diet, and to prevent them becoming a nusience, it is important not to feed currawongs.
		The nest is a large, bowl-shaped mass of sticks built in the branches of trees.

	Currawong calls
		The currawong would be a good species to study.
		Currawongs first drew my attention to the existence of regional dialects in bird song, when in '48 I found the voices of the population near Tully Falls in north Queensland so noticeably different from those of my home area of Tamborine Mountain in southern Queensland.
		One of the less musical calls on LHI which I've never heard on the mainland seemed to me to be associated with nest defence, but I haven't enough evidence to be sure of this.

		The NSW union movement, seeking funds for its campaign against the Howard Government's industrial relations changes, is set to resurrect efforts to sell its historic holiday retreat, Currawong, nestled on the western foreshore of Pittwater in the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
		As with Unions NSW's attempt in 2002 to sell the 23-hectare property to a transcendental meditation group, the transaction is likely to attract another round of strong public and rank-and-file opposition.
