David - this morning I've heard both black butcherbird and helmeted friarbird in Cairns (in the Botanic Gardens there), and I agree with Philip and think your bird is a friarbird.

I'm in Cairns at the moment, and there are a lot of new bird calls I'm trying to identify. Here's one from this morning. Sitting in a tree top calling, sometimes with a nearby one responding. Medium size bird a bit bigger than a blackbird, but hard to see against
the sky. Also a dove and occasional lorikeets in the recording background. ID advice appreciated!
