Recorded on a deck at the back of the house, about 5-10 m above ground. This is typical dry sclerophyll forest on a ridge with eucalypts and casuarinas dominating the canopy. There are intermittent creeks (more like ponds along the creekline as of Nov 2018) at the valley bottoms east and west about 200 m away.
