User's notes
Perhaps the same birds seen in flight earlier, but I observed four interesting behaviours. Photos 1 & 2, one Chough attacked a Magpie, then giving up, began to play with a stick (photo 3). Photo 4 shows three birds who huddled together at the base of a tree then picked up dirt in their beaks and worked it through their feathers. Finally, photo 5 shows one bird displaying to others. There were also a number of Currawongs present.
