The first 11 notes of the first two bars of the Kookaburra song match the same notes played faster in one bar of the flute riff at 12 to 14 seconds in the Down Under song.
If I have understood the sheet music correctly the Kookaburra notes are (G is G4): G G G G A A A G E G E.
The Down Under flute riff notes are almost an octave higher (F# is F5#): F# F# F# F# G G G F# D F# D.
