Can't help with the cuckoo or the Gerygone spp., but, for what it's worth, I agree with you on the two honeyeaters.

The cuckoo looks like a juv Brush to me. First Gerygone looks like a Large-billed, but the second looks ok for Mangrove. Agree on Tawny-breasted Honeyeater but I would favour Helmeted/Hornbill (depending on your taxonomic bent) for the friarbird
