That sounds like it.

I just found this website with some calls: http://www.pentaxing.com/sounds.php

The second male koel call in the list is the typical call. The other two are examples of the wirra-wirra call. There's also a female call.

On reading all the communications about night calls - seemingly unwelcome too - I realise I am probably hearing a Koel too in the still of the Torrens night. At a distance which I thought was not good but I am now revising that idea. It is a two note call about an octave apart - low to high. Does that sound right?
