Unfortunately, here in WA (to my knowledge at least) we are not allowed the Eastern Whipbirds. I believe that the Gorge Wildlife Park does have them. I need to dig out Vic's number and will PM it to you. He is one of the bird curators from there and would have far more knowledge on them than I could offer.

Vic would be a good person to make contact with,not just for what he has access to but there is a good Softbill group in SA.
There is also a Softbill group in Sydney and they would assist.
Whipbirds haven't been a high priority but they are a nice bird and something very different
To access most of that type of bird you need a good contact as they need to work together for on going success

Very nice birds, some people in NSW, VIC and SA have them
Try Mark Shepard's book 'Aviculture in Australia', I think it's sill in the library, though owning it is better
