"(or bush stone-curlew, southern stone-curlew, weeloo and willaroo) are long-legged bush-dwelling waders that stand about 50 cm high. They are more often heard than seen. A distinguishing feature is the large yellow eye with a broad white eyebrow and a thick brown-grey stripe running from the eye and down the neck. Their voice is an eerie whistling call which begins with a drawn-out 'wee-seer' that is repeated a number of times and ends with a high-pitched and drawn-out 'keeleeoo'. They favor open woodland, dry watercourses, coastal scrub, suburbs and towns in Queensland and can be tame near habitation, golf course and resort islands."
