This walk is a quiet meeting point between two places I know well: Dilkusha, a rainforest property near Maleny where my grandfather lives, and the grounds of UniSC, where I study and think and walk every day.
Using sound, story, and memory, I’ve brought fragments of Dilkusha into the spaces of the university. Footsteps through puddles, the call of the Lewin’s honeyeater, water trickling over stone—each stop along the path carries a small part of the land my grandfather has tended for decades.
This is an attempt to listen more deeply. To walk slower. To consider the stories rooted in the ground beneath us—both those we inherit and those we’re still learning how to hear.
Put on your headphones, and take your time.
