Ok, after painstakingly looking at the birds list of Nerang National Park and matching it to the Australian Bird Sounds app, I finally found the bird:

White-throated nightjar.

Just for the record... I see several listed with more or less that name - could you say exactly which your favoured one is?

I'm using "Australian Birds Sounds Pro" app, developed by luminous apps.

It doesn't have all the birds in Australia, but it has so many of them.

I read that this bird likes to lay eggs on piles of dry leaves on the forest floor, at the top of hills... and that's where exactly I heard the birds... At the top of the hill.
