Great diversity of pigeons in Australia! More native species than Europe and North America combined!

My partner and I are still heading south! We’ve seen some honeyeaters and robins (and much more), which you can see in our posts here, along with some great recommendations from people on where to find them:

Now it’s time for pigeons! Most people tend to disregard them, especially coming from North America or Europe where city pigeons dominate the perception. But Australia is actually home to around 25–30 native species of pigeons and doves!

So far, we’ve managed to find 5 of them on our trip, including the Bar-shouldered Dove and the Wonga Pigeon.
Anu recommendations of where you have seen appreciated!

Honeyeaters of Australia! (blue-faced on 2nd)

This blue-faced honey eater comes to my camp site every morning in Woody Head NSW!

Australia's diversity in honeyeaters is amazing. Out of the 187 species worldwide, Australia is home to 78 of them! Surprising to some, the noisy miner is also a honeyeater..
Here are 15 of them to ID. Has anyone seen any of them and where?
