They nest in the plane trees that line Victoria St, Potts Point, and
also nearby Macleay St Kings Cross and Potts Point and have done for
years. There's quite a large group of them in fact (or was, when I
last lived there 3 years ago). Never really saw any "trouble" with them.

Sadly my profession keeps me in the city much of the time.
This morning, in Berry Street North Sydney, it was a bit of a cold
wind tunnel, and at this time of year there are just bare Plane
Trees on the kerb between the multi story office blocks. I noticed
however that a pair of Currawongs had just about completed their
nest out over the traffic just north of number 65!
Why there when there are parks not too far away and it will be many
months before the green of spring hides the nest?
Maybe there's a steady supply of lunch scraps - or they fancy a drop
at the "Rag and Famish" on the corner.
I shall just hope they dont develop the anti social habits of the
pair that attempted to nest in Pitt Street in the CBD of Sydney near
Australia Square a season or so ago and terrorised many a
pedestrian! They and their nest quietly disappeared.
