This little bird has just had a bath so hard to see the body, but the beak is a give away if I could find what it is? Nambour Qld Sunshine Coast.

Just a guess, immature or fledging Eastern Spinebill? Would wait for more expert than I to confirm.
Dale Huonville, Tasmania
The long, curved bill and yellow-olive wing/tail patches combined with the general plumage say Brown Honeyeater.
A juvenile Eastern Spinebill looks like this
I'll second the Brown Honeyeater
It's worth noting that Brown Honeyeaters were ranked 2nd most common (summer) and 3rd most common (winter) bird species to be recorded in Queensland bird baths (Bathing Birds Summer Report 2015).
