Its not a forest raven, the forest raven population on the mainland is located further north somewhere inbetween Sydney and brisbane. Also juvenile forest ravens have a blue grey eye. 95% sure its an Australian Raven

I have it easy on the raven front. Only Forest ravens in Tasmania. On the other hand, we have two currawong species that look nearly identical, and both live on our property, and they hang out together. Fortunately they have completely different calls.

Thanks for that, I'll leave it with a question mark but as there were Australian Ravens there it could be one of those also.

Sorry, but they really are hard to tell apart. Your bird is a juvenile, which make it even harder. http://www.daff.gov.au/brs/land/feral-animals/aparp/managing_bird_damage_to_fruit_and_other_horticultural_crops/crows_and_ravens_family_corvidae
