I might be far astray, but, as a resident, I
suspect there was a Crimson around somewhere (one of the ANBG 500) and the
branch-rubbing-simulator was a cocky of some kind, maybe a Gang-gang - or maybe
even two branches rubbing.

Aside from
seeing the water dragons for the first time which was both quite cool and also

biology department - I was drawn to a couple of calls, one seemingly familiar
and one I have never heard before.
Firstly, I confidently looked up
into the pines next to the duck pond by the café expecting to see a Crimson
Rosella. Now I don?t claim to be an ornithological expert by any means, but
the distinct trills and phrases were unmistakably Crimson; I even had a pet
Crimson as a child making me even more confident that this is what I was
hearing. Yet what did I find when I located the source of the
calls:
