It isn't a Kookaburra. Look at the bill. It looks like a Thicknee (aka in Africa as Dikkops or in Europe as Stone Curlews). There are a number of species but if you are in Australia maybe a Bush Thicknee.

Thanks. I searched for pictures of bush thicknees, and it certainly appears to be a closer match.
