I lived in Woomera, SA, for a few years as a kid. My father was stationed there with the US Air Force. It was a village of about 5, 000 then. That was the late 70’s-early 80’s. I know the whole area has changed since then, and so many of the locals moved away. I distinctly recall seeing the emus walking down our village roads, and seeing/hearing flocks of cockatoos or cockatiels (?) high above. I remember the arboretum, which might still be there, with all of its birds. I was very taken by the kookaburras, and would try to mimic them, to get them to respond. Many years since I’ve been there, of course. I traveled around S.A., including Port Lincoln and Adelaide. So I saw quite a few water species, too. Lovely video, seeing some familiar birds. I still dream of it there, and hope someday I can return, see the wildlife, the outback, and the distinct smell I remember of the salty ocean air. Thank you!
Thank you Dani, glad you enjoyed the video, I've just looked at Woomera, it's much further up than where I stay which is south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula, mainly as that's were my brother and his family now live, I love seeing and hearing the birds you mention, glad the video brings back some lovely memories and I hope you get to visit again soon 👍
Chris Waring, we have a bird in Ingle Farm, South Australia that calls "Pritty, Pritty! twice only whenever it calls. Pritty is not a miss spelling of pretty. Do you know this bird? We hear the call but never see the bird, which is frustrating. We have no big trees here so it must be a bird that like bushes!!
Innes is a beautiful place. Lived down on the southern Yorke Peninsula for a few years. Now live in Goolwa Beach. The bird life here is fantastic
Well done. That was great to see each bird in its natural habitat. That was great. Thanks
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, as a birder based in the UK it was an amazing trip to see all these amazing birds.
Excellent. Beautiful movie.
Thank you 👍
Great content Chris

I have finally seen this video in full and I like it. You are a better editor than I am.
Editing is definitely the hardest part and I'm always changing it, thanks for your kind comments 😊
@@chriswaring7259 you are welcome.
I am sure this would be a great work if only I could watch it.
Why can't you watch it??
