Start this walk at the library-end of D block. It is a linear walk, following one Echo to the next according to the map. When you get to the stairs at the E-block-end please walk up into the canopy. For those who are unable to use the stairs, please use the lift, and make your way past the trees, heading towards E block.

Not only humans use the track to the creek

Come with me as we walk on Gubbi Gubbi country, down to a small section of Mellum Creek

1 sound

Still a little churned after all the rain

Here we have reached the creek. Breathe in the clean air and notice that the sound of the babbling creek masks the sounds of humanity close by.

Let's travel beneath the surface

Looking up through the water to the sky. What does it sound like when you live underwater?

1 sound

It's a bit turbulent at times

The water is flowing a lot faster due to recent heavy rains

1 sound

Into the canopy

Let's rise from the creek, up into the canopy

1 sound

A bird's eye view

A different perspective of the creek that we do not normally see, and how we hear it is different too. Walk back along D block and immerse yourself in the sounds of the canopy.

Welcome to The Edge, my immersive sound experience. This project has been created to explore and experience a range of environmental boundaries throughout the Sunshine Coast. Within this experience, you will encounter six distinct edges, each representing different spatial, ecological, and temporal transitions. For the best experience, please begin at the front of Building B at the UniSC Sippy Downs campus and make your way towards Building E. From there, follow the pathway through in the Block E and continue towards UniSC Lake, where the final audio piece can be experienced. Throughout the journey, there will be moments where you are guided to pause and listen. Please refer to the individual audio descriptions for specific instructions. As the campus can be busy during the day, it is recommended to undertake this experience in the evening or on weekends for a more immersive engagement. I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which UniSC is located, as well as the lands of Maleny, Noosa, Buderim, Mooloolaba, and Sippy Downs, where these recordings and images were captured. I pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my immersive experience. This walk was prepared for the Des304 task 1 Sensing Environments course. The sounds used in this experience were collected from the natural environment of Mooloolah River National Park. A relaxing soundscape of nature is set within a number of buildings at the University of the Sunshine Coast so students can get away from the urban environment and experience nature's sounds. It will be possible for you to hear various species of birds, bugs, and even sounds from an underwater environment.

Urban Wilderness - Bernice Wood (DES304)

Hello and welcome to my immersive experience. This experience has been created to expose the diversity of sounds, that are naturally present within a wildlife corridor in suburbia. This is in comparison to a residential estate, which has been cleared of native vegetation and has had a designed park area included in the development. This experience will take you to the depths of the wildlife corridor where you will hear an array of bird calls and critters. Having natural corridors, within suburbia, is a valuable asset to both the environment and people’s wellbeing. To appreciate the experience please start at the initial echo (blue circle on your phone map) which is located at the end of Block E. Turn your volume up to a comfortable level. Take your time to wander through the echoes and as you enter each one, tap the blue circle to display an image and short description. Enjoy! I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the USC campus sits. I recognise and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

Tips for enjoying this walk: Begin on the path between H & I Block, heading toward D & E Block.The walk is designed for a slow pace and there are benches along the way should you like to sit or need more time to finish the audio. The sounds will repeat on a loop until you leave the circle.
