Noisy by Nature

Ann is hoping to spot a baby with long legs and ears - who might tumble out of a pouch. But, what is that noise? It sounds a bit like a sheep, but there are no farms around here.

Today, Ann is looking for buried treasure - but it's not gold or jewels that she's hoping to find. But eggs!

Ann is off to join a big family, enjoying a get together on the beach. But there's no surfing, beach cricket or picnic rugs here. There is one very hungry baby though - and it's noisily putting in its lunch order.

Ann is hiking through Kalbarri National Park, WA, and there's a family out for brunch - but why is that little one making such a loud, persistent noise?

Ann is going for a late afternoon stroll along an island when she sees that someone has been building a sand castle - but there's no towers, or moat or draw bridge. Ahhh, it's not a sand castle, but a nest. She takes a listen to the eggs inside, where the babies are just starting to hatch.

Ann is off on an adventure with her friend Christine – they are going to listen to all the animals that live on a shelf. No, not a kitchen shelf, but a huge underwater rock formation. 

Ann is on a boat, 50km off the coast of WA – headed to the Bremer Sub-Basin, which is home to apex predators. 

Today, Ann has on her stinger suit and is going scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef with Juan Carlos Azofeifa-Solano. 

Is that mermaid hair floating in Fortescue Bay, Tasmania? Ah, no, it’s the fronds of a giant kelp forests. Ann and her friend Leah Barclay dive under the water to explore. 

Ann is kayaking on the Swan River in Perth with her friend Miles Parsons – they drop the hydrophone to listen to the animals under the water.
