Fragrant Flowers and Frogs Chanting

Perfumed air by flowering wetland heath (woollsia pungens), eucalyptus botryoides and most banksias. The audio-scape: Thousands of frogs vibrating the airwaves. A crisp crystal moon.

Videos of Manly environments

'The Animated Coast of (Manly) Sydney' - video uses a local sound-scape to capture various habitats and times. It leads us from Shelley beach, its Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve fish and seastars. A rare visitor such as the Pied Oystercatcher is also 'in the picture'. The contested sandstone heathlands of North Head, Manly and the Pacific sky are depicted. Queenscliff with artifical lights looks iconic. Worth a watch to get the ambience of the place.
Thanks to dotAtelier for the permission to screen the video here.

Another video 'Manly, Sydney, Ferry, Hurry' is of Manly and a ferry trip. It shows the wharf (with the good old Cove restaurant), the Corso, the Harbour (trip) and of course Circular Quay. The animation by Viktor Hertz was composed from 2000 still pictures and also has its own audio composition.

Back again

The good news is there are a real lot of Figbirds (sound) in the remaining large fig in the Corso, even overpowering the cars at times. It is awesome walking at the beach, listening to the Pacific Ocean rolling on one side and the collaborative screeching of the Rainbow Lorikeets on the other.

Sand

When seeing beautiful beaches turned into highways in Australia one could wish for dry quicksand. All the smelly, dangerous vehicles (4WDs) are just swallowed up and disappear.There is more on this possibility here and here.

In the absence of motor vehicles the dry sand dunes can be heard 'barking' or 'singing'.
