From the lush Sherbrooke forest in Victoria to the picturesque landscapes of the New England Plateau in New South Wales, the film uncovers the lyrical mysteries of these avian wonders. As humanity delves deeper into the heart of nature, we are confronted with an urgent question: is the lyrebird now singing the melancholic tale of human encroachment?
