Some birds, and a cicada (?) I don't know the name of

["doctorobotnik" doctorobotnik]

I've just put up some short samples of birds (magpies, kookaburras, long-bi=
lled corellas) I recorded recently in and around the Grampian mountains, Au=
stralia.

Another clip is of an insect (or possibly two) that I haven't been able to =
identify. They're some variety of cicada I guess. The first is the one in t=
he foreground for the duration of the clip, and the second makes its most c=
haracteristic sound at about 00:37. It reminds me of some of the background=
 atmospheres in Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Do any Aussies know what these creatures are called?

Cheers,
Ben
