This recording was made from a balcony overlooking a mature fig tree at Padaminka near Walkerston, Queensland in early September 2008.

There is some background noise as Padaminka is surrounded by sugar cane growing properties and the harvest was in full swing from at least 5.30am. You can also hear figs dropping onto the tin roof of a shed, and some clattering from the kitchen.

The recording was made with Tascam HD-P2 digital recorder and a pair of AT-3032 microphones.
