User's notes
Near the Gang-gang couple with the one-eyed female I saw this Red Wattlebird making its morning call. When the male Gang-gang took off, this wattlebird followed him like he was chasing the cockatoo but as they turned in a tight circle it looked like the cockatoo was chasing the wattlebird. They both returned to seperate branches with no further interaction before the wattlebird departed.
