If you zoom in you will see those broad areas of ‘occurrence’ (‘distribution’?!) fine down to specific sightings. Those great blocks give no idea of rural
versus urban/semi-urban. Test that with an ACT zoom-in

Here is a Koel distribution map from ebird.
Quite a few observations are obviously far from the madding crowd.
They have been recorded a few times in Carwoola (but not, so far, this year). I have had a report of one in Bungendore a few days ago but that is out of my core area of interest - and these days
is sort of like a built up area rather than a pleasant rural village.

I can’t help observing that the observers of Koels probably spend most of their time in urban areas!

True, that parasitized Noisy Friarbird nest was further away from urbanization, but still in someone's back garden in a residential area.
