English: :Truly fascinating phenomena of a snapshot in time of beautiful biodiversity. I find this to be a fascinating opera of nature—and with sounds that are not always symphonic, such as the likes of the raucous calls of sulphur-crested cockatoos! To me, one hardly needs to go to the zoo to find entertainment from nature, just listening is quite fun in and of itself!

Situated on a sloping escarpment, Eucalyptus forest, medium undergrowth. Recorded from a phone on the deck of my Mum's house, which faces out into the downwardly sloping escarpment, with a creek at the bottom of the valley.
