And fine photos they are, too, Matt.

Yes, it's a Grey Currawong but I think the subspecies is melanoptera.  The subspecies versicolor is found from west of Melbourne to eastern Victoria & into south eastern NSW.

This might all sound very knowlegeable but I got this information from Peter Monkhorst et al: The Austalian Bird Guide.
