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.
