I don’t know about roosting. That is not so easy to observe. I wrote 29 June 2018 about that there were large flocks of Brown Thornbills around my area (and still are). They are normally in smaller numbers. So I considered that sufficiently far from usual to mention it.

Hi all,

An interesting observation in my backyard yesterday was a large group of roosting Brown Thornbills. In the photo (https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S47719621), there are 17 birds (we think), but in total there were 24 in this group. Is this a normal observation for this species? They are commonly seen in my yard, but usually only a few at a time.
