By behaviour, this was an Adult and Juvenile, as the Adult kept dropping into lower vegetation then flying back up to feed the young one. Could these possibly be the Yellow Wattlebird of Tasmanian fame? Amazing sound - should have got an audio recording come to think of it now - one description that I saw was it is akin to someone vomiting, and that is sort of accurate to a degree.
