Looks like a fantail nest, though I'm not an expert on nests. Given there's no bird attending the nest we probably can't be confident.

Thanks. I thought probably grey fantails, as there was a family feeding young clumsy fledglings close by in summer. We saw thornbills and redbrow finches at grassy nests nearby, but this one was better hidden.

After searching up Grey Fantail nests, I am almost certain this is what it is. I have confirmed now.
