Thanks to all who have responded so far with suggestions on the mystery
calls. I'll wait for a few days then post a summary of the comments.
If someone could forward to me Steve Debus' suggestions that would be
great as I didn't seem them come up on the Birding Aus archives.
Thanks

Subject: Mystery calls from Bowra Station, Queensland
After a great trip to Bowra station a couple of weeks ago, I've reviewed most
of the audio from many hours of remote recording and have a few calls I haven't
been able to identify. Would be helpful if someone familiar with these calls
could help with ID.
They have been uploaded to xeno-canto.org & the links to the sounds are as
follows:
1) XC287109 -http://www.xeno-canto.org/287109
Recorded in sparse, stony hard mulga country - cackling call perhaps from a
raptor. Brown Falcon seen in the area, but Black & Grey also known from this
site.
2) XC287108 -http://www.xeno-canto.org/287108
Willie Wagtail song interferes with first phrase, but the second phrase is
clearer and I've no idea what this one is. Recorded in mixed mulga country near
a dried creek bed.
3) XC287107 -http://www.xeno-canto.org/287107
The repetitive whistle is the call in question here. A common sound heard most
days of our visit. My first guess was either Spiny-cheeked or Singing
Honeyeater, but never got to see birds making this call. Rufous Whistler was
the only other suspect I had, but I've never heard this species make this call
in coastal populations which I am more familiar with. Mixed mulga country near
a dried creek bed.
4) XC287106 -http://www.xeno-canto.org/287106
Repetitive whistle, different to the previous one. Mixed mulga country near a
dried creek bed.

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
