ID bird call, cuckoo?

In Bendigo VIC not all the time (seasonally?) a night bird calls "cuckoo cuckoo" just like the clock, the audio in my bird book says cuckoo birds in Aust. do not say cuckoo, please tell me which bird does. Thanks.

Thanks, it sounds similar. I will have to get out of bed and hunt it down with my camera next time it's in my area.

Whilst camping at night I finally got to see and hear, the Southern Boobook, unfortunately with no flash for my camera. I took an ID only photo with torch light.
