On the sand flats in the inlet in Merimbula at low tide, fairly large flocks of 
small-medium wading birds, digging in the sand. Too far away to see clearly, 
but they had dark heads and backs, white underwing with a black strip along the 
trailing edge of the wing feathers. They tended to trot fairly rapidly back and 
forth, then flew off in a flock.

I doubt this is an exotic observation, but the iPhone birds app was unclear.

ID help appreciated.
