Enjoyed a very close encounter with this female lyrebird on the trail to Badger Creek weir (video below).
Two males we saw weren't as engaging but both demonstrated impressive mimicry close to hand that alerted us to their presence (a whistler "whip", a kookaburra's laugh).
For completeness sake I include a shot of a captive male Superb lyrebird taken at Healesville Sanctuary a few years ago:
