I've recently moved to Brisbane and am woken each morning (usually at 4.30am) by a simple call that i need help to identify.
It sounds like... 'do doo' ........'do doo'.............The second 'doo' is lower in tone.
It sounds very calm.
it's a clean crisp noise, not a furred blurry noise like doves.
It's repeated - usually at regular intervals but not always.
i don't hear it during the day .
I've tried looking and listening on youtube and birding sites but no luck so far.
thanks for your help in identifying this.
We've named it 'the 4.30 bird'!

Possibly Southern Boobook, often referred to as the "mo-poke. Google and try to find some calls to listen to.
