Brown vs Inland Thornbill?

A long shot, but wondering if anyone out there in search-engine-enabled cyber-twitch-space can help.  On a recent trip to Kosciouzko, at the edge of the tree line, saw heaps of what we assumed were brown thornbills.  They didn't quite sound like their Sydney cousins (unsurprisingly), and this one had a very prominent tail which it paraded cocked, inland-style.  Colour was perhaps not grey/dusty enough for inland? (sorry for the lousy pics).  And possibly out of range.  National Parks gave me a blank look.  Any takers?
