Kookaburra is the eighth studio album by Australian band the Whitlams, and first under the name the Whitlams Black Stump. It was released on 8 March 2024. The album was supported by the 25-date Kookaburra tour, commencing in March 2024. In May 2024, the tour was extended by an extra 20 days. About making a country album, lead singer Tim Freedman said "I am a parochial lyric writer, and country music has a strong sense of time and place, so clothing my stories in a country music coat seemed like a natural progression to me, I had to scratch that itch and investigate." At the AIR Awards of 2025, the album was nominated for Best Independent Country Album or EP.
