What is possibly a white-throated treecreeper, spiraling up a branch in the forest in Dandenong.

I've had a few wildlife firsts out at Dandenong now. This adorable echidna was very casually digging and sniffing around for afternoon tea at the end of the hiking track just a few hundred meters from the car park. They were reasonably unbothered by my presence, though after a while I was no longer welcome when they decided to ball up.

A Rosella preening in the sunlight filtered by the canopy of the bushland. Perhaps an Eastern Rosella?
