    Toorale

    "Toorale" homestead dates from 1895. It sits on the banks of the Warrego river, amongst mulga scrub in the arid country of far west New South Wales. Constructed from timber and iron, the homestead was abandoned by the early 1970s, and is now a home to swallows, decaying gently along with its contents, including a ruined piano.

    Stone Country

    Stone Country : Karulkiyalu ngurra. Upper western NSW. Gundabooka is one stop of many that Baiame made when creating this country. In the old days the people would travel on foot along creek lines from place to place. Recording made in rock overhang, on the side of the creek bed/gorge. Light wind gusts blowing along the gorge. Headphone listening recommended.

Takes me back

These are fantastic recordings. I'm not sure if they are extremely well edited together, or single takes, but they are truly magical. If you have ever been to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia etc, these will take you back. Can we have some more please?
