For some time, my son has wanted to go camping in Gluepot Reserve with me (he's never been there), so we set off in his car one Friday morning. Unfortunately, the dirt road into Gluepot was still impassable, due to heavy rains in previous weeks. Plan B required another three to four hours more driving. We ended up having to stay the first night at Stony Creek Bush Camp Caravan Park, but I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by the variety of birds singing during the evening chorus in the surrounding bushland. Evening was not a good time to record; and besides, this was not really supposed to be a field recording trip, although it did serve as a good location reconnaissance trip; but I couldn't resist setting up an overnight rig in the bush to record the ensuing dawn chorus. With highways only two to three kilometres away on three sides, and quite a few people staying in the campground, I didn't hope for much of a longer soundscape recording; but I knew that at least I'd get some good bird song and bird call samples. As it turned out, most other campers slept in that morning, and highway traffic wasn't quite as bad as I'd expected. The resultant dawn recording, while 'imperfect', seemed to me well worth sharing.
