Space in Time: Maleny - Leigh Terrey (DES304)

Spaces in Time is an opportunity to document and experience the many and varied soundscapes that exist within a short 6km radius of the Sunshine Coast hinterland town of Maleny. From the Friday morning hustle of Maleny Lane in the heart of town, to the rich subtropical rainforest ambience of Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. I would like to respectfully acknowledge the Kabi Kabi and Jinibara peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present, and I recognise their continued connection to this country and their role in caring for its lands and waterways.

Where the Land Listens: Echoes of Cartwright - By Kate James

Where the Land Listens: Echoes of Cartwright - By Kate James

'Where the Land Listens' has been created as a celebration of Kabi Kabi Country and as a deep exploration of place. Throughout the walk, you are invited to experience the shifting soundscapes and sights of Point Cartwright Reserve, from dawn to dusk, and from shoreline to bush. This work journeys through the sounds of waves, wind, rain, and birdlife, revealing the contrast between coastal and rainforest ecosystems within a single landscape. Through these recordings, this walk offers multiple ways of encountering the same place, each shaped by time, atmosphere, and ecological activity. This immersive audio-visual experience encourages you to pause, listen, and attune to the nuances of this environment. Let the soundscapes guide you on a journey through our biosphere, and let the visuals transport you. All images and audio recordings in this work were created on Kabi Kabi Country. I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Kabi Kabi / Gubbi Gubbi peoples, and pay my respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging. This walk is an opportunity to experience and reflect on country with care and respect. Please note that this walk is wheelchair accessible and intended to be suitable for all ages and fitness levels. As it takes place outdoors and may involve direct sunlight, sun safety is encouraged. Take care underfoot and remain aware of your surroundings, including any wildlife. For the optimal experience, park in P13 and start on the northern end of the walk to start at “dawn” and finish at “dusk”, walking through the day. This campus location has been selected to add to the serenity of the audio-visual echoes, guiding you through ponds, bush and open space for the perfect place to slow down and listen. Enjoy your virtual exploration.
