Maybe the Kookas sit in taller trees and so have a relatively later night
and early morning? I don't really believe that, but at our house on the Blue
Mountains escarpment facing dead east I can tell you the sun comes into my
bedroom window long before light falls on Penrith in the valley below.

I have found that the EY Robins are the first to call during the 'day

Kookaburra's are in the area they beat the EY Robins by up to an hour, well
before dawn.
The same seems to happen on dusk, where the Robins are usually the last
to call, but the Kooka's invariably have the 'last laugh', just after dark.

Does anyone know of any area where there are Eastern Yellow Robins, but
some other species beats the Robins to first call?

PS Not sure, but I think crows might be the first to call here in suburban
Hawthorne (Brisbane). Early risers, are crows.
