I pressed send before I'd finished my previous response to this question.

In addition to the records I mentioned there is another at least potential record. It is detailed in

Peter, J. (2004), 'Beachcast Seabirds Recovered at Zeally Bay, Torquay, Victoria, 1991-2003', Australian Field Ornithology, 21, 1-20.

On 21 April 2000 a single long central tail feather of an adult White-tailed Tropicbird was found there! It would seem that there is a concentration of records in April.
