Episodes

  1. Bees! Native bees!

    A cute little bee chilling out near my clothesline. It was I think bringing pollen into it's nest which was a small hole in the brick wall. I held my microphone up to the hole and this is what you will hear. Definitely one of the coolest sounds I have had the joy of recording.

  2. Crow & Wattlebird in secret garden out the back of Waratah

    Birds conversing, out the back of Braye Park.

  3. Ocean swirlingness | Newcastle Beach (Close; Far; Halfway)

    Listening to the sound of the waves at different distances. I think usually my brain filters out (or at least is not consciously aware) of the sound of the ocean, but when I listen intently, something very cool happens and I can't really put it into words.

  4. Arcadia Park

    Gentle rumble of the city, birds all around.

  5. Bellbirds, & other birds at Little Flaggy Creek

    Birds all around, footsteps, a plane.

  6. Little Flaggy Creek

    We were originally heading towards the Fernleigh Track, took a wrong turn and ended up at this beautiful little area by chance. Sounds of water flowing, teenagers passing, a few footsteps, distant traffic.

  7. Carrington Mangroves | Bat colony just before dusk

    Flying foxes, passers by, traffic.

  8. Ash Island | Frogs!

    Close to a pond, you can hear the frogs, insects and birds, and then, a plane overhead.

  9. Merewether Beach | Dusk approaching

    Sounds of waves, occasionally children walking past, talking.

  10. Midsummer Evening in Cooks Hill

    In case you forgot what a summer evening sounds like.

  11. Fernleigh Track Bellbirds

    That special stretch of the Fernleigh Track where the bellbirds abound all around.

  12. Yuelarbah Track

    Nature, footsteps, outside sounds.
