Identification please

Hello,

Can you kind folk please identify this noisy nocturnal visitor. (not even 100% sure this is a bird??)  I live in Kalaru, Far South Coast NSW.  The call is continual, when I go out to try and find this elusive visitor it moves through the trees (I'm in the bush).  I have lived here for 5 years and never heard it before, we have just done some clearing and the canopy is wider now.  Only started this week and starts right around dark.

(not the frogs, it's the background noise)

Is that call harsh enought to be that of a Barn Owl?
