Short answer - they're not.

I can recall seeing one on a fuel barge at Spotswood a few years back (next to
Yarraville along the river).  Otherwise just the odd one at Queenscliff,
Werribee, etc.  They mostly seem to occur as widely spaced individuals around
here; quite uncommon.  This one must be overwintering too.
