Recordist's notes
Periwinkles and other creatures making delicate, quiet sounds in this rockpool, the roar of the ocean can be heard in the background. About 90 seconds in you hear a helicopter fly over. Not even the creatures in the rock pool are immune to the dense air traffic of the Royal National Park.
