Thanks for the replies, everyone. Many suggestions were made: koel, satin bowerbird, bronze cuckoo, curlew and pied currawong. (Which probably just indicates my birdcall impression wasn't very good!)

I was walking home from work a couple of nights ago when I heard the call coming from some trees along Barry Dr. There was a flock of currawongs there hanging around, making all sorts of noise. Although I couldn't see which bird was actually making the call, it was definitely somewhere in the vicinity of this group of currawongs. I think that's pretty strong evidence the call is made by a currawong.

Thanks again for the help.

Hello all,

I'm a Melburnian staying in Canberra (Braddon) for the summer. For several weeks now I've been hearing an odd call that I don't recognise at all, and I'm hoping you might be able to help me identify the source. The call sounds like a descending whistle, with two tones. I haven't been able to record the bird, but I have recorded me doing an IMPERSONATION of the bird which is hopefully close enough to aid in identification.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,
