In late January 2020, at the Festival of Sails, Geelong - Saltwater Project launched their inaugural sound walk. The Pelican Time Machine.
For World Oceans Day 2020 Saltwater projects is releasing the sound walk created for the Geelong foreshore and first run during the Festival of Sails. It seems an ocean away ago that we could all easily gather for events that connect us to places we love. Saltwater Projects would like to thank the Royal Geelong Yacht Club for all their support to run this inaugural event within their terrific Festival of Sails program.
On the inaugural walk for the Pelican Time Machine.
In celebration of World Ocean Day 2020 , Saltwater Projects presents an eco-acoustic sound walk - The Pelican Time Machine - first shared at the Festival of Sails 2020.
The ecoacoustic story walk is designed to be heard as you imagine walking (or actually walk) along the foreshore in Geelong. The sound walk starts at Steam Packet Gardens and navigates Cunningham Pier and back, ending down Alexander Thompson Pier in front of the carousel.
Listen to gain some fresh perspectives on Geelong, particularly from a watery point of view.
This is a half hour walk. If you do walk and listen on your phone- the Geelong foreshore is very accessible for all abilities. Be aware that you may be passed by a miniature tourist train on your amble.
