I like the pretty colors

Western Shrike Thrush edge of range which also could be Grey shrike thrush but this one is a Western.
The Petrel looks like a Southern not a Northern due to the leading edge of the wing being light. A better picture of the bill would confirm with the northern having a reddish tip to it.

Thank you for the clarification.
The Petrel photo is cropped, as the bird was flying distant from land (seen at Admiral Arch, on the western tip of Kangaroo Island). So I am afraid I don't have any better pictures of the bill. I was actually surprised to find a Giant Petrel close to land. Do you often spot them from shore in Southern Australia?

Not to often Paalo they are usually out on the edge of the continental shelf. In Victoria that's about 40miles out
