Event description
Enjoy a Sunday afternoon stroll through Biddybungie Reserve on the western bank of the Wambuul/ Macquarie, introducing you to a sonic riverside world you will have never heard before. This 1.5 hour walk requires nothing but a mobile phone with a QR code reader, earbuds/headphones, and a willingness to listen...actively and deeply. Guided by Dubbo-based field recordist, sound artist and founder of ecoPULSE.art, Kim V. Goldsmith, the Wambuul Soundwalk celebrates the riverine environment through listening, questioning, thinking, and wonder at those sounds that exist below the surface. This free, community event has been funded by the Country Arts Support Program (CASP) with thanks to Create NSW and Orana Arts, as part of the Sonic Territories: Wambuul project.
FREE. OPEN TO ALL.
1pm – 2.30pm

Meeting point (see below), near the Lions Park picnic shelters (Stonehaven Avenue corner), West Dubbo. The walk will finish at the Emile Serisier bridge and we can then walk back to the start together.

Required:
- Walking shoes, hat, jacket
- Mobile phone with QR code reader, internet connection and earbuds
You’ll receive a handout with QR codes to the sounds we’ll be accessing on the walk or to use later at home, as well as a link to a short feedback survey. This survey is important for our funding bodies.
* The walk will be filmed for funding documentation of the Sonic Territories: Wambuul project and use in content being developed for a World Rivers Day Listening Party event in September. By participating in the walk, you give your consent to being part of that documentation. Your registration will also secure you an invitation to the Listening Party in September.
