Bowra has all four Australian babbler species. I saw three in one day.
Chestnut-crowned Babblers
Pomatostomus ruficeps [in fact all babblers] have extra nests which serve as communal "nests" for nighttime. An example is below. CCBs look "dapper".

Halls Babbler
Pomatostomus hall are common in suitable habitat of dry eucalypt woodlands although the Bowra folk seemed to think they were the hardest to find of the three common babbler species.

Grey-crowned Babbler
Pomatostomus temporals were about in their "band of thieves" outfits with the dark eye-stripe.
