Hi Kym

Your unknown bird is indeed unusual in Canberra.

It is a Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater.

Common west from Canberra, but unusual in ACT.

My father's book records a series of individual records and notes it as a "rare vagrant from the inland"

Nice find.

No doubt you ought put in a formal "rarities" record - others can tell you the form to use, etc.

Date, place obviously.

The photos are totally conclusive.
