The link works, but when I click to listen to it nothing happens.
I'll see if I can find any others.

http://www.amonline.net.au/factsheets/great_cormorant.htm wrote: Great Cormorants are probably the most widespread member of the cormorant family with a range that includes North America, Europe, Africa, China, India, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Australia. It occurs throughout most of Australia but is more numerous in the south-east and south-west. In spite of its preference for extensive areas of permanent freshwater, it is not confined to these and is often observed on coastal inlets and estuaries.

Er, is there any large bodies of fresh water in/around Ormeau? Or is it near the coast? If not, you can count that out, the Cormorant that is.

(we have Cormorants around where I live, and from what i've heard of the recording, it sounds nothing like it.)

I just found another recording of a cormorant.

At first listen I thought hmmm......
But when compared to the yowie? vocals you could tell the difference straight away. The yowie has a different pitch, it's notes change while the cormorant stays the same.

Here's a link to the one I found, just click on Double crest cormorant......
