Recorded in the open grasslands near Mackay, Queensland, this sound library captures the haunting nighttime calls of the Bush Stone-Curlew. Known for their eerie, wailing cries, these birds create an atmosphere that feels wild, unsettling, and unforgettable (especially for those hearing them for the first time.)
Despite their soft and almost cartoon-like appearance, their vocalizations carry across the landscape with a ghostly intensity that lingers in the air.
We recorded these sounds at a remote campground where the ambience includes light to heavy rain, rhythmic night crickets, and the subtle presence of distant traffic from a nearby road. These layers come together to create a vivid and cinematic soundscape filled with natural tension and depth.
The Australian Bush Stone-Curlew Sounds library is a great fit for horror scenes, nature documentaries, ambient compositions, or immersive audio projects. If you're designing for film, games, or storytelling, this collection offers a rich blend of wilderness, weather, and mood.
