The Coo-coo-coor-crook call.
It is night.
The call was coming from around the canopy region of the trees. It is probably a bird given the changes in location that the call was coming from.
Pretty sure there was at least one of. whatever it was around, I think I heard response calls faintly from the north

this is so blurry and the only photo I have of. Whatever this one was. I don't think much of The chance of ID, but at the same time it's pretty stark looking colour-pattern combo

Chalcidoid Wasps (Superfamily Chalcidoidea)Observer
caliginousDescription
I… think it’s in the photo with the finger but I seem to have lost it, so I guess let that one stand as size reference with the rest of the things in the image for how absurdly small this. Uh. Wasp? Maybe? was.
Its back was shiny/metallic reddish gold, head not so much, abdomen obscured by its wings

Eastern Banjo Frog (Limnodynastes dumerilii)Observer
caliginousDescription
I... Think? It might be a very, very, very small/young pobblebonk? maybe?? but that's because it doesn't look at all like any of the other frogs we know are here, with its very broad and blocky head.
Absolutely minuscule little fellow

caliginousDescription
- head paler than body
- doesn't seem to have any evident tail streamers (if present, minimal (see photos 1, 11); position of the feet make it look like there are in some shots)
- distinct white band across base of tail
- about the same size as the great crested terns it was harassing
