Australian Rainforest Soundscape

What this episode covers

Sounds from deep in the heart of the Australian rainforest. Situated near the famous Glass House Mountains and not far from the beaches of Noosa Heads, Kondalilla Falls provides an unexpected diversion from the more popular spots. Though the creek is small, at nearly 300 feet, it is an impressive waterfall by any standard. There are swimming pools at the top and bottom and the surrounding rainforest is filled with all the sounds you would imagine in such a lush location. This recording was taking a kilometer or two further in to the jungle from the falls. You can just hear the creek gurgling away in the distance in some of the quieter moments. But the best bits come when the thunder rolls in as if to punctuate the growing intensity of the heat, humidity and incessant volume grinding out of the forest. The falls lie along Queenland’s Great Walks system of trails. Snaking their way through the state’s warm subtropical rainforest, you will also encounter tall open eucalypt forest and picturesque waterfalls along your route between the various established bush camp sites.
