White plumed honeyeater maybe?
We get them on the farm near Dirranbandi as well.They are pretty big,probably around 7" long.
Actually last time i was out there i found a dead one,easy to identify once it is in the hand.

This wasn't a big bird probably the same/similar size to a noisy miner.
They hung around in small groups too quite a social bird
Thats them,i was comparing it to the smaller honeyeaters we get around here,such as Lewin.Noisy miner size is about right,but with a longer tail.Quote:

Nice portrait Paul, I missing some of the birds in Qld. The pale headed Rosella used to come to our garden to feed from the grevilleas.
Here you go mate. Just some from my little piece of Qld.Quote:
