It is certainly interesting the sort of birds that you discover are periodically in your neighbourhood. My near-neighbour in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Rob Dougherty, had a Noisy Pitta toss in its marbles on one of his windows last week. We live at the base of a hill covered with dry sclerophyll which is normally good for the odd Whipbird, Goshawk, Boobook, Frogmouth etc., but it's hardly the sort of environment you'd expect to find a Pitta in and there is no corridor linking it to the rainforest in Brisbane Forest Park. Perhaps it was heading south towards the McPherson Range ...
