Episodes

  1. New Zealand birds before dawn

    Springtime! Pre-dawn distant waves and bird sounds, with occasional distant traffic. Dawn chorus and distant traffic. My first experiment recording here, with very little editing. Some of the louder traffic was snipped out, but roughly, without much tenderness. Recorded in Waitati, New Zealand...

  2. 02-02 Falls and Calls in Leura

    Distant waterfalls and lots of bird calls at the top of Bridal Veil Falls, Leura NSW. This is a great spot to watch the sulfur-crested cockatoos as they come soaring up the valley to land at the top of the waterfall for a drink. Duration: 34:38 Recording date: 10 October 2020

  3. 02-01 Fernery Cave: creek, birds and bees

    Lots of bees and flies around this morning at Fernery Cave in Leura NSW. But also some lovely singing birds. Duration: 20:44 Recording date: 3 October 2020

  4. 01-11 Just waves, Shoalhaven Heads NSW

    Let's finish the season with a long recording of waves at Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads NSW. This is almost exactly the same recording location as the previous day -- up on the sandbank between the national park and the beach -- but this time I had the mics pointing straight at the water...

  5. 01-10 Windy windy trees with birds and flies

    Heard the wind in the trees and birds calling so had to stop during the descent from Drawing Room Rocks outside of Berry, NSW. The recording turned up a noise I haven't heard in years -- the dit-dit sound of mobile phone interference. I cut most of it out of the recording but you can still hear a...

  6. 01-09 Waves, some birds and an occasional dog. Shoalhaven Heads NSW

    A long recording of breaking waves and some bird calls at Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads, NSW. There were lots of dogs (and puppies with giant feet) on the beach that morning so there is some barking, too. Duration: 40:08 Recording date: 22 September 2020

  7. 01-08 In the creek at Pool of Siloam, Leura NSW

    Lots of water, with the mic right up in the creek running off from the Pool of Siloam, and waterfall in the background. Duration: 05:10 Recording date: 29 August 2020

  8. 01-07 Long walk from Pool of Siloam to Lyrebird Dell, Leura NSW

    A long walk on the track from Pool of Siloam to Lyrebird Dell in Leura NSW. Featuring: waterfalls, birds, water drips, footsteps, a helicopter, a very Aussie g'day, and more. Duration: 25:42 Recording date: 29 August 2020

  9. 01-06 Birds and distant traffic

    A still, sunny morning in Leura NSW. A nice change from the blustery weekend. Lots of birds sitting around chatting. At 7:43 you can hear a bee buzz the microphone, too. Unfortunately I was on the highway side of the hill so you can hear trucks in the distance. Duration: 07:57 Recorded: 25 August...

  10. 01-05 Babbling creek

    I promise it's not a toilet. Olympian Rock, Leura NSW. Same location as the previous episode but directed at the creek and sheltered from the wind a little more under these stairs. Duration: 06:22 Recorded: 21 August 2020

  11. 01-04 Windy morning and a babbling creek

    A very windy morning so I hunkered down near this creek downhill from Olympian Rock in Leura NSW. There were a few bird calls but I don't think the mics could pick them up over the wind. Duration: 05:13 Recorded: 21 August 2020 I'm working my way up to longer recordings. These short tests are to...

  12. 01-03 Water drips at Lyrebird Dell, Leura NSW

    Water drips, with a gushing waterfall in the background, and some bird calls. Lyrebird Dell, Leura NSW Australia. Duration: 03:33 Recorded: 15 August 2020

    Walking the path to the waterfall after the rain. Birdsounds, waterfall, and footsteps. Leura NSW Australia. Duration: 04:26 Recorded 12 August 2020.

    A brief afternoon interlude near the waterfall at Lyrebird Dell in Leura NSW. Duration 05:29 Recorded 12 August 2020
