Hi Michael

I'm not sure exactly what you hope to achieve, some of the birds on your
wanted list are relatively easy and seen regularly.

Here are some records of mine (others would have, I am sure, much more extensive records) going back several years that may be of use....

Wandering Albatross 25.10.08 Southport Pelagic
Great-winged Peterel 25.10.08 Ditto
Kermadec petrel 25.4.09 Ditto
Gould's Petrel 25.10.08 Ditto
Flesh-footed Shearwater 25.10.08 Ditto
Short-tailed Shearwater 25.10.08 Ditto

Other birds like Little Bronze Cuckoo and Black-chinned Honeyeaters -

mention!

Don't know if any of that helps in your quest!
