It is quite interesting what you find when you're looking for something else! 
Here is a short piece from a website http://bird-o.com that I have come across. 
Great information on our unique part of the world!

Here’s Bird-O’s “no-frills guide” to our TOP10 Australian birding sites.

The Capertee Valley.

The incredible Capertee Valley!!

Surely the most famous birding destination in Australia? Anyone who’s ever thought of coming to Australia has Capertee at the top of their list. The trip starts at the Capertee General Store for an excellent bacon & egg roll.  It’s great to be down before dawn for plenty of birding action but what makes this spot so brilliant is that the road lies in the lee of the Blue Mountains. You can start at 07.00 as the sun crests that little dividing range running the length of Australia. Often birds at the Capertee start their dawn chorus around 07.30 ….

Even with a late start you can notch up 100 birds in a day quite easily and still be back in Sydney by mid-evening. Such gems as Turquoise Parrot,Plum-headed Finch, Diamond Firetail, Spotted Quail-thrush, Australian Owlet-Nightjar, Regent Honeyeater (best in spring or when their favourite trees are flowering or when they decide you may be permitted to look at them); a superb selection of mammals are often on show too. Add to that, what’s reputed to be the largest enclosed valley (leading to the narrow gorge formation at Glen Davis) in the Southern Hemisphere – it’s simply stunning scenery and quite similar to the smaller Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA!
