User's notes

Very small numbers are moving through Dryandra Street Woodland as part of the Autumn migration. These two are heading roughly north north east. Photo is not good enough for ID. Small sized honeyeater with yellow and black stripes on the face and with the characteristic 'chip chip chip' call of migrating birds.

I think you might mean Yellow-faced Honeyeater judging from your description. Yellow-tufted would be pretty unusual given the location and it is a bit difficult to tell from the photos.
