Hey, it's Ann Jones from Nature Track and How Deadly. This is a recording I made on a wintery morning, outside a hut high up in the mountains of Gippsland on Gunaikurnai land, where tree ferns grow as tall as eucalypts in gullies. I arrived in the dark and didn’t realise how high up the hill I was. As the sun rose it took time for it to reach the bottom of the ravines, and so the dawn chorus extended longer and was more distant and echoey than I had anticipated.
It’s harder than normal to decipher what’s what in this recording because all around the hut there were lyrebirds singing, and they’re masters of imitation.
00:00:00 As the sun rises and warms the roof, icy water drips to the ground creating clicks and drips throughout. Immediately, several lyrebird males can be heard both distant and close rehearsing their songs in the morning. This isn’t normally the time of day that they’d be wooing a female directly, it’s more for practice and territorial defence, and also perhaps luring a female towards their dancing mound. They call like this throughout the coldest part of winter.
00:02:06 Rather than an actual whipbird, I think that this is the lyrebird imitating a whip bird!
00:03:00 I think the interminable piping is from a white-throated tree creeper.
00:05:00 It is possibly a striated thornbill group twittering close to the microphone, but certainly one of the ‘LBJ’ class. (That is what birders call ‘Little Brown Jobs’ - birds that are all small and brown and difficult to identify.)
00:08:18 A wattlebird chucks.
00:25:30 These are rosella sounds I think, the chattering that keeps them in contact as they move.
00:30:39 Is it a kookaburra or a lyrebird imitating a kookaburra? I think the latter as it cuts off rather awkwardly - kookaburras often wind down at the end of their calls in a very funny moany-giggle.
00:32:22 Here the lyrebird imitates, briefly, a black cockie within its stream of song. Other calls it imitates include grey shrikethrush, currawongs, magpies and wattlebirds.
01:08:30 Actual yellow-tailed black cockatoos! There’s a story that they travel before rain but I’m not sure if anyone has done the science on that one. These are big cockies, much bigger than a sulphur crested. They have yellow patches under the tale and fly with long wing strokes somewhat like a waterbird. Absolutely majestic and you are obliged to stop and point to them when you see them.
01:13:55 A kangaroo or wallaby thumps past.
01:34:30 A small flock of gang-gang cockatoos fly past, which sound like squeaky doors. About the size of a galah they are mostly black. The males have red heads and instead of a crest like a cockie, they have a little feathery flourish on the top of their head like a centurion’s helmet. The females are mostly black with exquisite red detailing and together they call in this incredibly unique, needs-oiling croak.
Hello Ann Jones. Thank you you truly wonderful recording of the unique sounds of nature in this beautiful part of the world. It brings back vivid memories of my many visits to the area in my youth. I particularly appreciate your informed notes on what animals were producing the different sounds. Well done! Love it.
Beautiful reminder of why i will come home to retire in the Blue Mountains
That clicking sound ... keeps me awake. I am giving up at 26:00
What is the location of the hut in Gippsland, and how does one get there?
This is really soothing for the mind. Is there a CD for your recordings?
I'm on the other side of the world and far from home. These nature tracks help soften the homesickness, thankyou
Me too x

I could never leave Australia for an extended period of time, I just love it down under 🇦🇺
Is Australia really this magical? I’ve never been there. Wow…. I LOVE it. Its beautiful. I would love to vacation there…..its Like a slice of Heaven 🕊️
I'm glad I am not the only one - I listened to these while I was over in the UK. You cannot beat the Aussie outback
Stayed 3 years in Australia, and spent so much time in the rainforest, and now that I'm back in my country, I miss Australia every single day
I was recently in Victoria toying the Mountain Ash forests, which are so different from the rainforests of northern NSW where I am from. The lyrebird symphonies wherever I went were the most impressive I’ve ever heard for their frequency and variability. It’s great to discover this track and be taken back into forest of Mountain Ash, tree ferns and Beeches. Thank you
i miss australia. i love the sounds of the bush.
OMG I WAS in Gippsland in 1996-97 as an exchange student. I had great time there and i miss those days. So happy that i found this video. Thank you very much for great gift. I will enjoy this repeatedly.❤
I could live forever in a place such as this
This is something one must definitely add to their “relax playlist”, juts lay down and enjoy all the sounds…
I love it the sounds of australia all over ....but had experience with yowie cry very close spooked now to camp in those forests .
Hello. I am a former exchange student lived in Dandenong area, I have been listening to some of the nature sounds on ABC Science and loved them all, but I realized, some of the noises are not familiar!
This one certainly brings back calm, happy and comfort to my mind.
Thank you so much for the awesome contents. Thinking of Australia from rainy Tokyo.
Your videos have helped me through tough times.
Thank you again, Anne, for making these beautiful recordings available for us to appreciate.
How can one sleep listening to those magnificent and magical sounds? Maybe I'll give a try.
Yes, the relaxing and smoothening music help us to relax and calm.this is the most important therapy we need.
This is like a meditation.🤗
I'd love to hear a beach soundtrack, some small beach hidden away where all you can hear is the waves and the birds, but I sadly can't find anything to the quality Ann Jones makes.
Great quality recording A++. I have not watched much so cannot say if you see anything but a wider view would have been more satisfying to me to feel immersed looking at the scene.
Relaxing ❤
The closest I've come to a rain forest was crossing Florida hitch hiking in the dead of night and hearing the sounds of the swamp on both sides of the road. Consciousness of my surroundings were heightened by hearing not just animated sounds but that also of limbs and fronds of plants moving conjuring up thoughts of alligators.
Beautiful! What recording equipment can I use to create something like this?
Hi Michael, Ann here. You know, you can actually record great sounds just using your smart phone. Phones work especially well if the sound is loud and clear and relatively close. I play heaps of sounds recorded on phones on my podcast 'Off Track' and they can be absolutely awesome. Otherwise, I use a heap of different, pretty expensive equipment to do my recordings - but that's because it's my job!
Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a great little playlist here 👉 ab.co/3q8Kcvc

@@ABCScience Cheers! Love ya work, off track and all!
Thank you. This is so good to listen to. Just wondering how many birds i am actually listening to and how many of these are made by the lyre bird itself?
Hi there! It’s harder than normal to decipher what’s what in this recording because all around the hut there were lyrebirds singing, and they’re masters of imitation. Here's my best guess:
