While there he was a keen observer of the local birds. His unpublished notes included historical information about birdlife at Bromfield Swamp. Austin collaborated with another bird enthusiast posted to the Tablelands, Patrick Bourke. When Austin was deployed to Indonesia in April 1945, he left two papers in draft with Bourke: these were subsequently published in Emu. Bird skins collected by Austin and another soldier in his regiment, Arthur Barnett, were donated to the Australian Museum. In April 1945 Austin was posted to Morotai, Indonesia. He was killed in action a month later at Tarkan, Borneo. 1940 1945 Military service - Served with the Second Australian Imperial Force 'Austin, Austin Frank', in Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation, Centre for Transformative Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology Austin, Austin Frank Swinburne University of Technology, Centre for Transformative Innovation Encyclopedia of Australian Science and Innovation Journal Article: Notes on the red-browed lorilet Bourke, P.
