Unfortunately when it comes to small birds a lot of the nests/eggs are virtually unidentifiable without sightings of the parents. Possibly striated thornbills or white-browed scrubwren.

User's notes

This small bird's nest with two eggs was found lying on the Cascades Trail at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, presumably having fallen from the tree above. Close inspection of the nest showed that the top of each egg had been broken open, as can be seen in the images. Not sure of the bird's identification. Thanks to Barbara for finding the nest.
