Having been a frequent visitor to Newline over the last couple of months (usually Saturdays at first light), I can confirm that Peaceful Doves have been sighted there. I have never seen more than one or heard any calling but, as I am a novice, I could have easily missed some.
 
The Brown Treecreepers and Jacky Winters are very reliable and the other regulars that I generally see there are Crested Shrike-tit, Southern Whiteface, Speckled Warbler and Varied Sittella. I've found it a great training ground for familiarisation with woodland birds, once you get past all the starlings.
 
Simon Bennett took a great photo of Dusky Woodswallows there a couple of weeks ago which can be found at:
