George Matthias via Victorian Twitchers facebook page Tue 2 Dec Australian Brush-turkey (Cape York race ‘purpureicollis’) Mt Lewis, FNQ A single adult bird of Cape York race seen very well & closely with photographic evidence seen not too far from the top clearing – it had a pure purple/white collar with absolutely no hint of yellow on it. This I believe represents the most southerly record of this race by a fair distance.
