I'm with you Shanna, Little Shrike-thrush. An Australian Reed-warbler has more definative dark markings on its back and more white under the bill. http://www.bushpea.com/bd/pg/nik/a/australian%20reed-warbler%2001.htmls

Yes, that's a very good match.

Plus my bird doesn't seem to have a band across its eye.

Hey Liam, thank you! I considered Australian Reed-Warbler for the ID too, but I'm just not sure... I can't find a pic where the colours look similar. My bird is more grey on the back, all the reed-warbler pics look brown. What do you think?
Liam
I could be wrong, but Australian Reed-warbler looks like a good match.
