The birds pictured in the blog post appeared to be in full breeding plumage.

Also, the one or two tattlers that overwintered at Alexandra Headland were
in non-breeding plumage.

I found in the past on North Stradbroke Island that the time the tattlers
returned could vary substantially from year to year.

Greg,
Are you sure they aren't just birds overwintering? Wandering tattlers do 
overwinter on the Sunshine Coast most years and some even achieve a fair
degree 
of breeding plumage.
My experience has been that the first new arrivals are juveniles and they 
arrive around the end of October.
It would be a quick turnaround for birds that leave Australia in May to be
back 
here in August.
