"Sitting in the tall gum tree is a black and white magpie. Waddle giggle gargle paddle poodle, the magpie shouts"
- from Waddle, Giggle, Gargle! by Pamela Allen
The distinctive and beautiful call of the Australian magpie is a unique part of the Australian landscape. These and other uniquely Australian birds can be heard in and around The Basin.
How many Australian bird calls do you think you can recognise?
Follow this SoundCloud link to hear 5 second audio clips of the 10 birds pictured above. To find the cache, number the birds from 0 - 9 based on the order in which they are heard. Use the numbers thus obtained to solve the final coordinates (remember to number from 0-9, not 1-10):
