New Hollands are different to other birds, as they aren't any one day, lots of them the next. Not only that, but I hadn't noticed them breeding. Suddenly they are feeding babies, and those babies are of big already. Their tails aren't as tiny as the wren tails, so they are hardly different in size, and look a lot like the adults.
I took many photos of them yesterday, but don't want to flood the forum all at once. So first one of the parents. Looked big, so I assume dad.
more to follow soon

Great pics! Looks like they put on a show for you :)
Hi djbrom, at the moment they are very quick and flighty, as they have some young that need feeding. You have to be extremely fast to get some good photos. The babies are easier to take photos of, but the problem there is, the parents leave them well camouflaged hiding in bushes, so most of the photos will have branches covering the birds. I will post some in a minute. Have a look at them, you might enjoy them?

Beautiful shots. The little blighters are everywhere here (there's even a pair in a bush in my backyard) but they don't sit still for long, nor do they pose amongst such lovely pink flowers.
