Yep same here, apparently over 220 types in Australia, around 2000 over the world. ..

@dom14 mate. Clunks video narrated something like 'Combined they are the noisiest awesome pricks on earth'. My experience some 20 + years ago in the Vic-Cathedral Ranges was truly deafening. We in fact cut off cigarette butts to use as ear plugs for the first 36hrs and then packed up camp and headed home. Nature always wins, lol ;-)

first time I heard them in all their glory was about 12 years ago on a 20 acre bush block property my brother rented. First time I went up there you could here them in the distance, so I wnt for a wee walk though a bit of bush, then found myself in a bit of a clearing....... It was such an eerie sound, especially as I'd not heard it before, and loud was an understatement, It was actually quite disorientating to be honest

That is absolutely true!
The bastards drive me nuts at times, but still can't help loving them.
For the most part, they practically hurt nothing to survive and give back a lot to the nature.
The trees they suck the sap to survive do survive themselves and get stronger in the process.
It's heart warming to see there are so many creatures on the planet that are created by nature that gives more than they take.
For me, that's religion.
