I've never subscribed to the notion of being guided to birds but some list promises are too enticing to ignore. Philip Maher's tour of Deniliquin is famous for a steady return of Plains-wanderer and is a bit of a right of passage. Phil delivered too, with such dazzling encounters as Plains-wanderer (his and hers), Little Button-quail, Inland Dotterel, Australian Bittern (x2), Little Bittern, Superb Parrot and a particular bogey of mine, Owlet-Nightjar. Thanks to Philip and Peter & Frayda who let me gatecrash their tour.
