Lots of "jungle" movies use Kookaburras, no matter where they are meant 
to be set - a good 'exotic' kind of call!

As far
as I know this is endemic to Australia, and I was aware that the 
program had
been filmed in Queensland, but I wonder what other bird calls give 
away the
locations where films were made - I seem to recall that a Kookaburra 
was
heard in some Tarzan films?
