Hello all, =0D
I know many of you here on this list are from Australia or have been to Aus=
tralia and have posted Australian bird songs or info regarding the wildlife=
there. =0D
=0D
I am visiting Perth for a conference from Sep 26 to Oct 1. After the meeti=
ng I plan to spend some time recording and observing wildlife. The plan at =
present is to rent a car in Cairns and drive one way to south and end up in=
Sydney before heading home. The trip would be about 18 days. =0D
Also, when I arrive to Australia, I have couple of days in Sydney. I am als=
o doing a pelagic trip from Wollongong at the end of the trip. =0D
=0D
For me most of the wildlife would be new, except for those found throughout=
Asia, especially if their range is into India. =0D
=0D
I would appreciate any suggestions as to which places to visit and record w=
ould be wonderful. Also, if some local nature recordists around the places =
we plan to visit would be interested in sharing their good local spots and =
take us around. It would be great to have interactions with local naturalis=
ts.=0D
=0D
I have some species which I am very keen on seeing. =0D
=0D
Please email me directly at if you have any suggestions or=
otherwise.=0D
=0D
Thanks in advance. =0D

Hi,=0D
=0D
As I mentioned in the =E2=80=98application form=E2=80=99, I=E2=80=99m a sou=
nd designer. Eventually I do =0D
location sound, although I=E2=80=99m not very fond of this activity; I=E2=
=80=99m more inclined =0D
to hide myself into the =E2=80=98safety=E2=80=99 and coziness of my worksta=
tion environment.=0D
=0D
So far, every job I=E2=80=99ve done in feature films was for low budget pro=
ductions. I =0D
did documentaries, educational and institutional videos and one =E2=80=93 o=
nly one! =E2=80=93 =0D
political campaign.=0D
=0D
I do enjoy recording sounds, though. I record lots of sounds for post and =
=0D
ambiences are the ones I like the best to =E2=80=98produce=E2=80=99. By the=
way, recording =0D
=E2=80=98natural=E2=80=99 ambiences is the reason I ended up finding nature=
recordists=E2=80=99 list, =0D
while researching different types of microphones and array setups to record=
=0D
forest, countryside and =E2=80=93 since I=E2=80=99m from Brazil and working=
here =E2=80=93 jungle (!) =0D
ambiences.=0D
=0D
I may say I=E2=80=99m a dilettante nature observer, because I=E2=80=99m =E2=
=80=98naturally=E2=80=99 interested =0D
in biology and animal life since I was a child. As a kid, I used to fool ar=
ound =0D
with beetles, ants and snails, for their unpleasantness, =E2=80=98bugging=
=E2=80=99 but never =0D
hurting them. When I was 10 I started to raise birds mostly because of thei=
r =0D
songs and after a few years decided that cages didn=E2=80=99t fit my nature=
and theirs =0D
either.=0D
=0D
As an adult I=E2=80=99ve tried fresh water fish tanks and was very successf=
ul after a =0D
few disasters. I ended up with a wonderful tank full of different ambients,=
=0D
hiding spots, lots of plants, natural colorful sand and learned that the ri=
ght =0D
menu, interesting landscapes and plenty space can make tiger barbs leave a =
=0D
school of neon tetras in peace and the shy angelfish get in the mood to =E2=

in public.=0D
=0D
I=E2=80=99ve already read some very interesting texts in this list, and lea=
rned and =0D
enjoyed a lot.=0D
=0D
I=E2=80=99d like to thank for being accepted in this discussion group and w=
ould risk a =0D
first attempt as a member, saying that although I believe the =E2=80=98crea=
ture sound=E2=80=99 =0D
from the other thread is not produced by a biological being, there are cert=
ainly =0D
odd sounding creatures out there and I could be a proof of that myself. =0D
