Episode One: The Sea

In Elwood, on the edge of Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay, people still make their way to the water long after summer has ended. Some come to swim. Others come to think, reflect, or simply feel closer to something bigger than themselves.In this first episode of Places We Return To, Morven McIntyre explores our relationship with the sea through conversations with local artist Tory Burke and members of the Dip and Sip swimming community including its founder, Jessie Bushe. They reflect on inspiration, ritual, community, and the quiet pull that keeps drawing people back to the water.Featuring the sounds of waves, wind and early autumn mornings by the bay.
