Strange bird call ID

This morning (ca. 9am) a bird I've not heard here before (western Deakin) 
called a dozen or so times, flew to a nearby location, called again twice, then 
flew further off, calling again a few times.

The call can best be described as "(tok)eeeeee".  The 'tok' is a soft precursor 
and at a lower pitch to a rapidly modulated "eeee".    The calls were slightly 
less than 1 second apart. Not a Crimson Rosella, which, while they do make 
similar noises, have pure notes and not the modulated "eeee".

Can anyone suggest what calls I might listen to, to confirm the identity of the 
caller?

Thanks

DN
