Abstract

Only two papers appear to have been published about the birds of the Central Plateau of Tasmania and both of these were many years ago. The first, by Col W.V. Legge in 1905, dealt almost solely with Great Lake's waterfowl and shore birds, and the second was an account of the observations made over a period of two months in the spring of 1923 by Miss J.A. Fletcher while she was staying at the Steppes with the pioneer family, the Wilsons. Three main habitats are included - (1) the lakes and their shores, (2) sub-alpine forests, and (3) highland moors.
