Thanks to Lorne, Carol, & Kurtis RE the Whistlers, Rufous, Golden, & Olive. Robyn, it's so hard to describe, but instead of whhiiiiiiiiip-CRACK! I hear it as crack-whiiiip, but more delicately/musically than the Whipbird. But probably also antiphonal.

Sorry Judith,  could you give a little more description of the call.   When you say in reverse, do you mean the "whip-crack" followed by the usual 4 or 5 leading notes, or the female "cher-cher" response followed by a "whip-crack"?
