Ok been hunting the net and the only thing it could be is a juvenile Pacific Gull! I've lived here 5 years and have never seen anything like it before or since! Cheers for putting me on the Gull path, a starting point always helps!

Well, it's a Gull. What Gull is a tough one for me, since Gulls are a pain to ID to begin with and you being in Australia leaves me with no clue :D Try your Luck over here, if nobody replies here: http://www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=114
