Kid's Country

3 ECHOES

Ellerslie

Children from Beeac Primary School in regional Victoria, Australia talk about their surrounds and environment.

The stories that you are about to hear are from the beautiful lakes country, home of the Brolga, in the south west of regional Victoria. This country is the traditional home of the Gulidjan and Gadubanud peoples, the traditional custodians of the Colac Otway region. We recognise their long history on this land & the care they gave to this land for thousands of years. We would like to acknowledge the Elders, Past, present and emerging and thank any Gulidjan and Gadubanud people listening.

If you can, listen through headphones so you can enjoy the binaural sound design experience.

Kids Country is an Education Partnership is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria. Many thanks to the generous support of Acciona Wind Farms.

Artistic Director & Project Designer - Penelope Bartlau / Set & Lighting Designer - Jason Lehane / Sound Design - Chloë Violette Smith / Sound Design assistant & podcast developer – Callum Cheah.

Deepest gratitude to Karen Cherry for her passion, vision, and commitment. Massive thanks to everyone at Beeac Primary School; teachers, staff, community, families and of course – the kids.

The Object Monologues

The Object Monologues is a geolocated audio experience where the personality, idiosyncrasies, passions, loves and losses of landmarks and significant public objects are brought to life. Created site-specifically, the character of each landmark object is crafted from historical research. We hope you find joy in delight as you wander, listen and imagine. In everything we do, we acknowledge that we live on Aboriginal land. We constantly learn from the wisdom of our First Peoples. We thank our Elders, past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
