New Zealand’s landscapes are full of life, from high mountain peaks to quiet fjords, open prairies, lush wetlands, and dense forests. This library captures the sounds of these wild places in stereo and surround.
You will hear Kakas calling in the alpine forests, the rhythmic croaks of frogs at night, distant sheep grazing on the hills, and the powerful crash of waves against the coast. Songbirds fills the shrublands, while fur seals bark along the rocky shoreline.
Recorded in both North and South Island during the spring and summer seasons, this 408-minute library explores the heart of New Zealand’s wilderness.
This library is also available in The New Zealand Collection bundle.
