Australia - A Timeless Land

Australia is a land of remarkable wild landscapes - and equally beautiful natural soundscapes.

Let this relaxing album take you on a sonic journey around Australia, to a diversity of environments, each with their characteristic birds and animals.

From the Daintree rainforests to the arid Outback, from The Blue Mountains to the Kimberley, from tropical woodlands to the great Karri and Jarrah forests of the south west - this album presents a symphony of natural sounds unique to Australia.
