about

Amongst the many wonders of the Australian outback is the beauty of its birdsong.

In arid mulga woodland country, the first birdsong is sparse, with a Willy Wagtail, Hooded Robins and Spotted Nightjar calling in the darkness. A White-fronted Honeyeater then begins singing; a charismatic cadence of metallic sounds, soon joined by another and the two sing a spectacularly choreographed duet.

Eventually a rich chorus of birdsong evolves, among it the liquid tones of Crested Bellbirds, the low booming of Bronzewing Pigeons, and ethereal songs of Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush.

This un-edited recording allows you to experience the outback dawn in all its magic.
