Yes, certainly around Wyperfeld National Park in Victoria the local farmers use the terms Purple Turkey to describe Malleefowl. For instance in Yaapeet, the town immediately before the southern entrance to Wyperfeld, the local hairdresser is called the Purple Turkey. There is a wonderful mural of a Purple Turkey / Malleefowl out the front.
