Hey Leanne, great sighting. Have a look at images of the Mangrove Honeyeater - I think that's what you've got here, yellow streak is slightly different to the Yellow-faced (underneath the eye not through) & a slightly larger bird with more frontal streaking. I've only seen the Yellow-faced here but would love to see one of your species.

There's one for me to look for Leanne. I haven't spotted one of those.
