Only 10 critters left in the sounds of Australia. Vote now. Warning: it’s a really difficult choice. I had to go for the Black Cockatoo. I just love hearing them when they blow down from the Brindabellas and I always go out to try to photograph them. #SoundsOfAustralia https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-07-31/australia-favourite-animal-sounds/102577008

For anyone not familiar with the laugh of a #Kookburra, please enjoy

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia has updated its 2022 list of uniquely Australian recordings. #australia #soundsofaustralia

Additions to today's #SoundsofAustralia registry include the jingle for the decimal currency ad on TV... but not the colour version we keep seeing advertised today, coz we only had (very grainy) B&W telly in 1966. Drongoes. 🎶".. on the foooourteenth of February Nineteen Sixty Six".🎶
And gawd... remember those hideous pounds, shillings and pence sums we had to do? Nightmare!
