Brush-tailed Rabbit-rat: Gouldian Finches

Furthermore to my sighting of a Brush-tailed Rabbit-rat. At the local volunteer fire brigade meeting a couple of weeks ago I asked whether anyone had seen this animal, and it turns out that some have, including a neighbour who caught one on our property some year ago. Also a couple of others present have noted Gouldian Finches on their property. The birds may be drawn to the Alloteropsis semialata, one of the few grasses to be seeding at this time of year; it’s very prevalent around here. Denise Late one night a couple of weeks ago I saw a Brush-tailed Rabbit-rat on a Darwin River road. There is one other record of what sounds like this animal from this area, from a local man. If any Birding Aussers are in the vicinity of Darwin River could you please let me know of any sightings?
