Maybe some kind of Atechinus, seemed to be nest building, a pair carrying leaves and sticks etc up a dead eucalyptus tree to a small hollow, every now and then being harassed by Bell Miners

Yep, not dark enough for A. swainsonii and doesn't have the bottlebrush tail of a Phascogale, so nothing else it can be. A. stuartii is not this far south according to my latest mammals field guide edition. We've certainly noticed their ability to run up vertical surfaces on our house walls (even on me on one memorable occasion when I was walking through the bush).
