Howls and Whistles

This is the segment, dear listener, where you get to test your auditory knowledge of Australia's creatures against Team Generator's best efforts to bamboozle you.

Each week we play the sound of a creature (furred, feathered or otherwise) on the half hour version of our radio show that goes to air across the Community Radio Network. Listener's can submit their answer to the question, "What the blazes was that racket?" to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The following week we post the details of the animal, and one lucky winner gets a prize. If there is no winner in one week, the prize jackpots and we give another clue.

Tune in and enjoy.
