I've been seeing one YTBC most mornings, and some evenings for past couple of weeks.  Always flying over Wanniassa towards Tuggeranong. 
Have also seen a king parrot in my yard (Wanniassa, close to the Wanniassa Hills Primary)  the past couple of days, after not seeing one for a few months.
Little corellas passing through the garden each day - mornings flying towards Tuggeranong, evenings flying opposite direction.  Minimum has been 3 practising their acrobatics on the wires above my garden, or sitting in the eucalypts, but up to about 25

There were 2 in a small eucalypt (abt 4 m tall but next to a larger Pine tree) on the footpath 2 doors up from our house in the southern part of Gordon late in the afternoon of 23 December. It was a nice early Christmas treat!
They are never plentiful down this way - I guess we would see one or two in the suburb about 3 or 4 times a year.
