The Australian Reed Warbler is a secretive wetland songbird found throughout Australia and sometimes seen in Papua New Guinea and nearby islands; where it spends much of its time hidden among dense reeds and rushes. While often difficult to spot, its vibrant, varied song is a familiar sound in wetlands and lake margins during the warmer months.
