With an abundance of quiet creeks and streams flowing through a variety of forest types, the Royal National Park is a place where I like to find solitude. I grew up in a town adjacent to this reserve, and over the years I have spent countless hours exploring its habitats and biodiversity. Sitting by a tranquil stream, listening to the dawn chorus is a wonderful way to relax. This album has been created to share the experience.
All of the tracks were recorded in the Hacking River valley, around the Forest Path, Lady Carrington Drive and Red Cedar Flat.
Dawn in the Hacking River valley. The first bird species to call from the forest alongside the river include Yellow-faced Honeyeater, Lewins Honeyeater, Eastern Yellow Robin, White-throated Treecreeper, Grey Fantail, Black-faced Monarch & Yellow-throated Scrubwren.
Deeper in the forest, along a flowing stream Golden Whistler, Pilotbird, Australian Ground Thrush and Green Stream Frogs call from the surrounding forest and undergrowth.
Along a small trail in temperate rainforest, Scarlet Honeyeater and Grey Shrikethrush sing. Mid-way through the track a couple of Superb Lyrebirds pass by and sing briefly with some mimicry and interaction calls.
Later in the morning the calls of Eastern Whipbird, Golden Whistler, Rufous Whistler, Leaden Flycatcher and Black-faced Monarch can be heard by a small creek flowing from an underground spring.
