I've got a family of them at my work (in Perth, not NSW). I work nights and have a lot of downtime, so I've spent a lot of time over the years just watching them look for food. I love the way they bounce along when they need to move on the ground, but I don't love the diving peck they do when they see food from a rooftop and neither does the bonnet of my car.
There's a crew of burras that hang out just off Enmore Rd not far from Newtown Station in Sydney. Sometimes their morning singing is so regular and on-time you could rely on it as a daily alarm clock.

I see one at least once a month just chilling on a lamp post watching traffic.

Don't think I've been there. Gotta have a look next time I'm in Sydney

I saw tons in the blue mountains, and many other very pretty birds

I did see tons of cockies there but no kookas :(

Have noticed they seem to hide for some parts of the year, maybe unlucky timing

Maybe, I was there in late April. There also were lots of tourists, maybe that's why.
