I know this may be impossible because the sound of bird calls is so subjective, and i'll look silly, but I'll give it a go.
I have heard this bird quiet often but never seen it (bushland Sydney environs), and my best describtion is-
'donker donker donk'!
Eastern Yellow robin or white-eared honeyeater. just a couple of suggestions.
Very helpful thank you! Not sure yet is either fit what i was hearing.
