5. Fishing for answers

from History Lab

Sydney's iconic Opera House plays host to musicians and dancers, actors and singers. But beneath the notes of their voices, another song echoes across the city’s waters.Indigenous Eora fisherwomen passed down their knowledge through their songs while paddling their canoes, a cooking fire at one end and their kids on their shoulders.Historian Anna Clark and host Tamson Pietsch go looking for the fisherwomen’s world, and discover that, if you listen closely, the past of Sydney Harbour still sings.CreditsProducers: Tom Allinson and Ninah Kopel Collaborators: Anna Clark, Nathan Sentance, Tim Ella and Maddison Lyn CollierExecutive Producer: Emma LancasterAssociate Producer: Anna ClarkSound Design: Joe KoningHost: Tamson PietschVoice Actor: Steve AhernAdditional production assistance: Ellen Leabeater and Miles HerbertMarketing and communications: Andy HuangThanks to: Les Bursill OAM for his advice on the Darug language, and Grace Karskens and Renee Cawthorne.
