Same tame birds at certain places I have encountered:

Buff-banded Rails - Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney
Apostlebirds - Pine Grove Cemetery, Minchinbury NSW
Pale-yellow Robins (and many other species as well)- Kingfisher Park,
Julatten Brush Turkey - Dharug NP NSW
Rufous Tree-creeper - Stirling Ranges NP WA
Spinifex Pigeon - Lake Argyle Homestead WA
Comb-crested Jacana - Fogg Dam NT

And there would be others as well!

Hi All,
I've been thinking recently of creating a list of sites throughout 
Australia where birds have become 'tame', where observers can get good 
views and experiences of species that are usually hard to get a good
look 
at in the 'wild'.
To start the ball rolling, i'll add a couple of examples of birds that
are 
resident in various campsites/picnic areas that allow you to get up
close 
and personal. 

Victoria  - Hattah Kulkyne NP  -  Lake Hattah Campsite  - Apostlebirds
and 
White Winged Choughs
Victoria - Hattah Kulkyne NP  - Lake Mournpul Campsite - Blue Faced 
Honeyeaters
Victoria  - Brisbane Ranges NP - Stony Creek Picnic Area  -  Brown 
Treecreepers 
NT  - Manning Gorge Campsite - Black Kites

Please reply personally or to the list with any other locations you may 
have observed tame birds. 
Cheers, 
Peter
