Thanks Birdie, it is the pinkish colouring of the beak that has me stumped. Last night I googled native birds with whiskers and I stumbled across some pics of immature & female Golden whistlers, so it maybe a female Golden whistler ay ;0)

Cheers, Jackie

Hard to be 100% as I can sort of see a cream gape in one or two shots but not in others, which makes it difficult to tell if it is an immature or female Golden Whistler. It's definitely a GW though.
