Sightings
We saw large numbers of Magpie Geese in the Northern Territory, especially Kakadu National Park, in 1997.
It was a rare sight when a group of 7 birds stopped over at Narrabri Lake in October 2008. We saw 4 birds at the time. In the winter of 2010 there were again a few birds at Narrabri Lake.
