Difficult birds?

Greetings  fellow birders.

The kind people  on this  list have been most generous to me in the past
with their knowledge of some of Australia’s  more  difficult birds.
Well, I’m on the scrounge again !  I,( well, three of us actually) will
be birding in Australia  in late Sept./Oct. this year  and have been
using  the excellent eBird Australia  to help us locate  species  we 
would like to see. Two of the ones  we want in the NT  seem to be
sparse  and irregular , at least according to that site, even though 
they should be fairly  easy ( according to the books anyway!).  Does 
anyone have  any reasonably  reliable sites  for Silver-backed 
Butcherbird  and Yellow-tinted  Honeyeater? We are basically  doing  Mt.
Isa  to Birdsville ( via Winton …I’ll check out  the  sewage ponds !)
and then Darwin/Kakadu/across to Vict. River  and Timber Creek. We are
also hoping to have a look for Rufous Scrub-bird in the
Barrington/Gloucester  Tops area ( we’ll stay at Gloucester  for
that)….but there  don’t seem to  be many recent  reports…at least
not with directions.So any help on these  3  species would be most
gratefully  received…please  reply  privately to me if  you don’t 
want to bore  your  resident birders!!

Many Thanks,  John Hopkins.
