Australian magpie.  They have the most beautiful song and though they can be vicious in breeding season, they do really get to know the local people and leave them alone.  Very clever birds!  This one is not too proud to walk right up to the back screen and tap to get our attention.  This does not mean it gets fed every day though!
Blue-faced Honeyeater.  Can't see why it would be called this...
Pied Oyster Catcher - commonly seen in pairs on tidal flats.

Where to stay in Redlands Coast

Raby Bay Marina is a great spot for a sunset. If the markets are on the vibe and atmosphere is great.  There are lots of eating spots and a boardwalk around the marina. It’s a great place to just sit and watch.
