I've taken the liberty to dig into this a bit more as it's piqued my interest. There's a slim chance it could be Five Minutes More, which is a lesser-known puppet show, but the timeframe doesn't exactly match up. It didn't feature an Irwin-type character, though. Could also be a segment from Shirl's Neighbourhood you're thinking about. That had a character named Claude the Crow and was a variety sketch show with some puppetry?

This is a tough one, because there were a handful of rustic set shows in the 80s with that theme. If we’re sticking to puppets, it's not Skippy the Bush Kangaroo since that was live-action. I'm racking my brain here...Are you sure it was Australian produced and not a UK show à la Wombles or something? Might also check out 'The New Adventures of Blinky Bill', they had a kookaburra character.

Sounds familiar! Maybe you're thinking of The Bush Tucker Man? But pretty sure that was real, not puppets. There was also Blinky Bill which had kookaburras and stuff, but that's a cartoon. This is a tough one, mate! Will poke around some more.
