The first piece of music in its repertoire captures the stunning sunrise over the park's vast water bodies as the air fills with the sounds of awakening birdlife.

The staccato notes and pizzicato melodies create a playful atmosphere, while the sudden fortes add a sense of drama and adventure. 

Overall, the music of Kakadu National Park is a beautiful tribute to the natural beauty and wildlife that inhabit this remarkable part of Australia.

Everyone gets a chance to participate, and the middle section featuring cellos is eerie. The suspenseful wait for the sea breezes to pick up again adds to the effect, and the piece ends with a fun and lively section.
