5. Tidbinbilla studies

The following maps of the study area were included in the paper by Robinson and Frith (1981). We have transposed the essential details on these diagrams using a current topographic map [Central Mapping Authority of NSW - Tidbinbilla 8627-11-S; 1:25 000] and aerial photography of the site [Environment ACT] taken shortly after the fire in January 2003.

This was figure 1. Map of the study area showing male territories and location of nests.

This was part of figure 2. Map of the two principal territories, showing location of [principal] mounds, microphones and food sampling points.
