11. The sounds of Cascade Cove

Cascade Cove - New Zealand
Title
The sounds of Cascade Cove
Short description
Georg Forster describes the sounds of Cascade Cove: the noise of running water and the different types of melodies made by various species of animals (birds and creepers).
Text on source
The noise of the cascade is so loud, and so repeatedly reverberated from the echoing rocks, that it drowns almost every other sound; the birds seemed to retire from it to a little distance, where the shrill notes of thrushes, the graver pipe of wattle-birds, and the enchanting melody of various creepers resounded on all sides, and completed the beauty of this wild and romantic spot.
