When we go bush or even in suburbia, I live photographically speaking for old homes like this. They have their very own classic beauty in their declining years. This one was and would have been particularly nice in its heyday. What stories these walls could tell. This was south of Inverell, NSW in rural Australia. I wonder how many of these are out there?

The Superb Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus superbus), also known as the Purple-crowned Fruit-dove, is a medium-sized (22-24 cm long), colourful fruit-pigeon.
The Superb Fruit-Dove is found in rainforests, rainforest margins and mangroves of Australia (along the coast and nearby ranges of Queensland and northern New South Wales), New Guinea, Solomon Islands, the Philippines and Sulawesi of Indonesia.
The male has purple crown, chestnut orange on back of neck, blue-black breast band separating grey chest from white belly. Their wings are olive green covered with dark spots, and the tail is tipped with white. The female has purple patch on rear of crown, and no breast band. Immatures are mostly green with yellow on wings and pale underside.
The Superb Fruit-dove feeds primarily upon fruits and berries.
De prachtvruchtenduif (Ptilinopus superbus), ook bekend als de kleine prachtjufferduif, is een middelgrote (22-24 cm lang), kleurrijke duif. Het mannetje heeft een opvallende paarse kroon op het hoofd, kastanje oranje nek, blauw-zwarte band scheiden de grijze borst en de witte buik. De vleugels zijn olijfgroen bedekt met donkere vlekken, en de staart is getipt met wit.
Het vrouwtje heeft een paarse vlek op de achterzijde van het hoofd, en geen borst band. Onvolwassen vogels zijn meestal groen met geel op de vleugels en bleke onderkant.
De prachtvruchtenduif is te vinden in de regenwouden en mangroves van oost Australië (langs de kust en de nabijgelegen gebieden van Queensland en noordelijk New South Wales), Nieuw-Guinea, de Salomonseilanden, de Filipijnen en Sulawesi in Indonesië.
De prachtvruchtenduif eet voornamelijk vruchten en bessen.

A shame about the wire. This was the first and only time I had the chance to see and photograph this bird. I was equipped with the wrong lens and the bird was very shy and only visible through that wire that divides the campsites here at Illaroo. Nonetheless I was very excited to see such a bird!

Sericornis magnirostra
Looked at Thornbills but felt the bill was too large for that.
Thanks to Greg, it is confirmed as a Large-billed Scrubwren.
