After having spent two unsuccessful days searching at some of Ian Mays sites for Scarlet-chested Parrots, James and Alexander Watson gave up the search and were on their way home when they stopped the car to look at a Thorny Devil. Sheer luck because right there were five SCP’s! The spot was at 25deg 04.059’S 129deg 55.790’E, 81.9 km west down the Docker River Road from its junction with the road to the Olgas. The habitat was burnt mulga and mallee. The permit to travel that road is easy to get at the Yulara visitors centre.
