    This is a Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata), a passerine bird native to Southern Australia.
    It can be up to 37cm (15") in length and is the second largest species of Australian honeyeater, the biggest being the Yellow Honeyeater.

    Thanks Craig. The Yellow is native to Tasmania, so I believe.
