Hey, it's Ann Jones here. This Nature Track is a little different. I recently spent six weeks filming a Catalyst documentary called ‘The Soundtrack of Australia’. We set out to create a golden record of Australian sounds, just like the one NASA sent into space with the sounds of Earth in 1977. The crew filmed and recorded over 200 bespoke sounds – many of which have been arranged and layered into this final 30-minute composition. Unlike previous Nature Tracks, this soundscape includes human-made noises and voices. Sounds were gathered from as far west as the Perth Canyon (20km west of Rottnest Island) and as remote as Warramunga in the Northern Territory.

Here are my listening notes:
01:00 Sounds from above and under the water at a beach near Esperance, Western Australia.
03:00 Pygmy blue whale song near Perth Canyon, Western Australia.
06:00 Catching a ferry in Sydney, New South Wales.
07:20 A plane, there’s always a plane.
08:30 Catching a train near Sydney’s Opera House.
09:00 Can you hear beatboxer Tom Thum here? You can also hear street sounds from the Sydney suburb of Newtown.
10:10 A snippet of a conversation that has a swear word in it.
10:30 Iconic Australian pedestrian crossing, with the sounds of the city.
11:40 Cicadas buzz near Mount Annan, New South Wales; a lyrebird sings near Sherbrooke Forest, Victoria; and instrument maker and Ngemba man, Kristian Benton, taps on trees, looking for materials to make a yidaki.
13:47 Kirstian Benton on the didgeridoo.
16:00 Natural sounds are often marred by the sounds of leaf blowers, whipper snippers and other machinery.
21:15 Car on a country road with cows and cockies. A typical Australian scene.
22:30 At the Orange Agricultural Show, you can hear announcements, motorbikes, chickens, shearing and whip cracking.
24:30 A wood chopping competition.
25:30 Driving on a dirt road, note the dusty texture and corrugations.
30:46 Warramunga Seismic and Infrasound Research Station in the Northern Territory is one of the quietest places on Earth.
31:15 Wild cockatiels calling.
