I make cringe videos, tag along.
Hughenden — My Medical Rural and Remote Placement, Queensland, Australia.
Sorry guys, I know this video is super late! This video is about my rural and remote medical placement experience as a medical student in Hughenden, Queensland, Australia.
In context, every two years of my degree, we have a rural/remote focus placement (2nd year 4 weeks, 4th year 6 weeks, and 6th year 10 weeks). In my 4th year, I decided to go on a solo placement to Hughenden. One of the reasons I chose to go solo was that I could be greedy and get more opportunities. There are pros and cons of going solo on a placement; for example, my biggest struggle was to find out if I was on track with my peers, and another reason is some people might get lonely. Personally, I enjoy solo placement as I thrive, and I have a lot of fun. As usual, I took videos with a lot of cringes, but it's my cringe.
Let's start with where Hughenden is and what is a Hughenden.
Hughenden is a rural town situated in the Flinders Shire, Queensland, Australia. Located about 376 kilometres west of Townsville and 1,400 kilometres northwest of Brisbane. The region around Hughenden is a significant centre for sheep and cattle grazing. Hughenden's history starts far back, at least 11 000 years ago, with the Yirandhali people. Fast forward, 1861 British occupation began, sheep station, post office, schools badabim badaboom a town is born. Climate-wise, it's hot, hence why I went in the winter.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics of 2021, about 1113 people live in Hughenden, fluctuating between seasons and the grey nomads.
A brief demographic:
Male: 48.8%
Female: 51.2%
Median age: 42
Median weekly household income: $1,306
Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander: 150, representing 13.5%
When discussing a town in Australia, it is essential to classify its ruralness. That way, we get a better picture of its economy, population distribution and services, etc. MMM - describes how remote a place is. For example, 1 is a city, and 7 is very remote. As you can guess by looking at Hughenden, it is very remote. Again, the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Remoteness Structure also rates Hughenden as 5, which means very remote. The reason for these classifications is to identify lawmakers and make policies about a region, thus deciding the funding, the services, ect.

Didn't feel like studying so I decided to record these Kookas in the backyard :) Enjoy some Kookaburra ASMR! Townsville (in Douglas), Queensland, Australia. See my website: www.andreasastier.com
My Medical Rural Placement in Benalla, Its Health and Tourism - Victoria, Australia.
มุมมอง 1.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
During the second year of my MBBS degree, I had to complete my 1-month placement in a rural town and had the choice to pick either mid-year or at the end of the year. I decided to go midyear to a small quaint city called Benalla in Victoria. I decided to record and make a little video of what it felt like to go to Benalla City and speak about my placement, its health and what to do as a tourist...
The Behaviour of the Pheasant Coucal - Townsville, Australia.
มุมมอง 12K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Every morning at around 8 am, this male pheasant coucal would perch and make these different calls. Intrigued, I decided to observe and record his different calls. This took me between 1-2 months of observing and recording around February into late March. I had a lot of fun as I have never done this before! I believe he is gathering a lot of food to feed his young. One of the reasons why this t...

Thank you! Finally saw my 'whoop whoop' guy for the first time this morning 🥰
0:20 whats the bird sound (whowah-woh) in the background? I lived in Townsville for 16 months and could never figure out the type of bird
I also love the quiet and silent curlew and the cassowary.
Boys coming to JCU next year grew up in the cane fields in bli bli his brother married to Kabbi his Mother Japanese. Lets go.
Currently researching mourning behaviours of the pheasant coucal. As one was found dead on a main road yesterday, therefore removed the beautiful bird off the road. This morning, something flew overhead as I pulled into home, a very vocal and courageous visit from a pheasant coucal. My heart hurts for them.
Very cool! I noticed my first 1 yesterday (Northern Rivers NSW) creeping around our bamboo and palm trees and it appeared again this morning. I wish it would slow down so I can marvel at it more. I was intrigued and researched the bird and that brought me to your video.
They are quite cheeky and shy that's for sure!
I wole up to this right outside my window this morning - i wqs so confused by some of the noises
One outside right now
Thank you. This was very helpful. 🙂
Thanks for this video. I seem to have one in my Brisbane backyard lately. 👍
That is a gorgeous bird. Thank you for sharing!
Such a beautiful bird.
Wow
I thought all these calls were different birds! Thanks so much for sharing this.
This bird chased my husband and I back in Macmasters beach, nsw haha it had built a nest in my inlaws backyard in the long grasses (cos their property was in the bushland near a beach). Now I'm scared of this bird haha
Sounds almost exactly like the Greater Coucal we have in India. (Crow pheasant)
Got one living in my neighbourhood only just found out what it is and the sound confirms it
Thank you so much for your excellent video and audio. I have one living in my suburban garden in Cairns but I’m wondering if anyone knows what the different calls indicate?
Fantastic footage of a beautiful & entertaining species. The Indigenous people I work with call this bird Budbud, after its 'coo coo coo' call. I get one in my backyard in Dampier, WA sometimes ... the poor thing is mercilessly bullied by noisy miners.
Thank you! I like the name Budbud, it's fitting.
There used to be a pair of these birds when I lived in Dampier 20 years ago that would hang out in the park near Fitzroy crescent, my parents and their friends were at a loss as to what the birds were until a ornithologist visiting from QLD ID'd them. She was surprised to see them in Dampier.
I have one baby peasant coucal but how to feed
don't keep those birds around, they bring horrible diseases. Beware.
Imagine what different dinosaurs sounded like they say they were more like bird calls not loud growling
Going to Benalla for my JCU rural placement this year - absolutely loved the video, definitely has me excited for it :)
I was born in Australia and I'm now 53 or 4 or something I watch all the doco's, how come I've never seen this bird in my life before???
They everywhere haha especially down near Proserpine and Mackay region. I think I saw a few on the way to Cairns and further up in the Daintree.
What surprising content in your video! I wasn't expecting to see a fun run and the Show. My daughter starts JCU medicine next week. She is committed to working in a regional area so JCU seems to be the best 'fit' for her. Enjoy your year ahead. PS please add JCU medicine to your title so your videos are easier to find.
Thank you for the lovely comment, I hope your daughter enjoys it too!
Great video! I really enjoyed every bit of this. Besides hearing from you like this, it's fun and informative. I hope there's plenty more to come! Hugo
Merci beaucoup Hugo :) ça fait un moment que je ne t'ai pas vu!
Magnifique vidéo Andréas ! J'ai adoré, tu as fait un super montage 👍 ...et kudos pour la casquette Carrefour 😂 (tour de France ?)
mon cochonou 😂
God bless you for bringing sound skills to a very remote town. You are needed and appreciated, for sure.
That's a very kind comment thank you.
Wow amazing...I've always wondered about these birds, we have them here at our place.
I have a juvenile making the grating sounds at the moment, This video clarified it. Thank you
Do I detect a South African accent?
You are indeed correct, although I tricked you as I learnt English in SA but I am French.
@@andreasastier Oh haha. That's okay. I was born in SA but grew up in Australia and I still have a bit of an accent just because of my family. Thanks so much for your video, I head to Benalla for my nursing placement Sunday and it was just what I was looking for to get some more insight. All the best with the rest of your studies.
@@misspst9585 oh that's awesome! I had so much fun and grew a lot more confident on doing the basics right. On weekends the town offers many things to do, which is awesome.
Yes, I've only known the coo coo coo sound. Interesting to hear those others.
I liked the pheasant coucal’s ‘sweesh’ noises.
This bird sounds like a laser when it makes that last call. I’m in Hydeaway Bay QLD and they’re loud up here.
Never been to Australia, but I adore this species of bird!
You should come 😄
Thanks for uploading this, it solves the mystery of our feathery friend. This bird has been around our property for the past 10 years, though it is quite secretive and I only have pictures of it in low light from a great distance - he was way up in a Eucalypt.. The outline and the distinctive 'whoop whoop' call is a giveaway!
Once you recognize their calls it is very easy to identify. That bird gets very spooked it is actually quite hard to get near. Here I managed to take some photos even in mid-flight, I was very proud! www.andreasastier.com/blog/the-elusive-pheasant-coucal-centropus-phasianinus-townsville-australia
What is the food of this bird pls
typically feeds on the ground on large insects, frogs, lizards, eggs and, sometimes, small mammals.
I live in upland eucalypt country to the north of your area, and spotted a dark long shape wandering behind my herb pots which turned out to be a pheasant coucal going for a morning wander in front of the house. I went to find some info on coucal habits and came across your shorter 2 mins. plus video. While watching this on the other verandahed higher side of the house suddenly I saw movement below and there was the bird again, wings spread out, running along the ground at a great rate towards a group of trees and bushes. Not seen again, but maybe threatened by the sound of the bird in the video?
Absolutely, they get very spooked 👻 but nonetheless a great better to appreciate. Although I wonder sometimes if that tail is more of a nuisance for potential predators to grab on.
I have one hanging around my home (Hunter Valley NSW) for last 6 months . Calls most of the time. Has 3 or 4 different calls, so thanks for this as it helped me to positively id him or her.
Once you hear it and know the call, it becomes very easy to identify them.
I enjoyed your recording very much. I love the birds of Australia. I'm in the USA so I have never had the pleasure of seeing your beautiful birds. Maybe some day?
Actually saw one for the very first time this morning when one was wandering up my driveway while being swooped by mynah birds. It's a very impressive looking bird
Saya orang indonesia saya juga punya burung ini kalau di daerah kami nama burung ini burung BUD BUD JAWA
That's awesome!
BENALLA IS A WOKE CITY..
I used to call it the "Whoop Whoop" bird . First seen on Hayman Island by me.
Since playing this video, there is a pheasant coucal calling from my backyard.
He will be coming for you haha
I'm in Brissy and have one hanging around my backyard fpr a week now. There is something magical about this bird. I found this video in sesrch of this bird. I knew it was a kind of pheasant. My other backyard resident birds even look at it with amazement and curiosity.
Right now there are so many of them here in Townsville, so I am guessing they must be migratory birds? The cockatoos are back too, making a mess under some of the trees with a 45 degree angle cut on the fallen branches.
@@andreasastier they are now here in scenic rim area. awesome birds. reducing cane toad populations which is quite surprising
muito bonito!!!
MY MINOR BIRDS OUT IN THE TREE GOT UPSET. THEN I HEARD THIS STRANGE SOUND LIKE WOOP WOOP WOOP, BUT ITS NOT THIS BIRD IN HERE. IM TRYING TO WORK OUT WHAT TYPE OF BIRD SOUNDS LIKE A BOOMERANG FLYING PAST.
Top knot pigeon
It's Ned Kelly on the piss.
Hear the green tree frog in the background 😂😂😂
Ah that's what it is then
Wow !! Its south Indian cousin *'The Greater Coucal'* makes similar sounds as well... 😊👍✌🦘
