An Interesting Detour

This walk aims to start a conversation around our Indigenous past, present and future and to begin to shift the paradigm when we think about our public spaces. Along the walk today you’ll explore the history of Jellurgal, informed by Indigenous perspectives and narrated by Gamilaroi man Tristan Schultz. NOTE: each echo is spatially arranged to allow for reflection; either at its initial trigger location, or between. Use this time to ruminate and enjoy your surrounds. I acknowledge and pay respect to the Yugambeh people of the Gold Coast and all their descendants both past and present.

This sound walk is based around the sights and sounds you would encounter when going through the Burleigh Headland. I have chosen to mix a variety of the common sounds you would encounter when walking the track including natural elements such as trees blowing in the wind, birds calling and animals moving through the bush. These sounds are combined with human elements as the headland is a very popular destination for runners, walking and getting to the beach so I felt as though it was important to include noises as such.

A young mouse is nibbling on some food in the park by the beach. After eating his fill, he decides to head home to his burrow. Note: Each echo will begin as soon as you enter the zone and will play through to the end even if you exit the area. Feel free to continue along the trail and make your way to the next zone.
