For the last 3 years I have been doing some bird atlas surveys and sending my records through to the Australian Bird Atlas database. The Atlas is a great resource maintained by Birds Australia.
The area I am surveying is one where land clearing and the establishment of vineyards is having an effect on the birds. Tourist development around this area has been modest to date, but the nearby Cape Clairault winery has a plan (2008) to establish 60 cottages in this vicinity.
Here's my list of 54 species to date.
