Medium sized bird in Terrick Terrick NP Vic (photos)

Terrick Terrick NP protects a dry woodland of volcanic hills that rise from the plains of north-central Victoria, near the town of Mitiamo. It is best known for a population of Plains Wanderers (although we didn't see one).

This medium-sized bird was perched on a callitris (White Cypress) in July 2012 near the picnic area.

Any suggestions?

cetainly looks like a white plumed honeyeater and  i've seen them in the Terricks.  Surprised you described them as medium sized however.  they're not much bigger than a sparrow.
