Thats a very impressive list Greg! I am very jealous given the most exciting bird I have seen our my place lately is a juvenile Grey Butcherbird (though he was lovely).
I would love it if you could submit your sightings in to the BIBY surveys.
Cheers

Wow Greg..... what a great list. I must try to make one some day. But mine would have to include the area immediately surrounding my garden as that is where I spot many of them. Not as big a variety as you though

Cheers

I left out crested shrike-tit, one of my favourite birds.
Living on a creek helps a lot with birdwatching.
