Spirit of the Outback

The Australian Outback - ancient, mysterious and often breathtakingly beautiful.

Listen to predawn birdsong echoing around Ormiston Gorge, an exhilarating flock of wild Budgerigars, Wedgebills - 'the windchimes of the desert', the cries of Black Cockatoos carrying across the plains, rare desert frogs and, under a full moon, the eerie wail of Dingoes.

 

We recently spent some time in the Centre and woke each morning to the prolonged and glorious melody of the Pied Butcherbird. We were able to identify it after buying your wonderful "Spirit of the Outback" CD, and downloading the field notes from your website. We are so grateful for your lovely CD. Again, many thanks for your work.

Robert, Canada

"Spirit of the Outback" is really wonderful, one of my favourite nature recordings - truly magical.

I bought your "Spirit of the Outback" CD. It is very atmospheric and realistic - that Western Bowerbird sounds amazing, like a coin being dropped in a jar, on track 8 at 3.41
