By following the bell like calls, we were able to find a small party of these birds in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. It was the only place where we saw them. Photographing them was very tricky and although they came quite close to the camera, they often positioned themselves in dense foliage. Fortunately, this bird took off as I was about to photograph it and it appears to be headed straight for the camera.
