This work evolved out of my own need to render the essence of a place I spent much time in as both a child and adult, as both a holiday visitor and permanent resident, with family and without.
My family originally owned a large section of land bordering the forest at Kioloa, on the south-coast of NSW (Kioloa State Forest, and what is now Murramurrang National Park). They were one of the original farm residents in the area (in early years permanent, in later years part-time). Against my wishes, our house, (the last of our land) was sold in 2005, most already having been sold to developers to create a subdivision in the preceding five to ten years.
This is a theme constantly being acted out across the Australian landscape – intact bushland being lost to realtors making inflated capital gains out of property development on land they claim as their own. In this case, my own family were the ones to originally lease and clear the land, later buying it from the government and many years later selling it to developers for a large profit.
I feel I had a human, personal experience of the habitat loss that animals experience – normally humans can just move somewhere else if their home is sold, but trees, insects, birds and animals can’t do this. Neither could I, as our place at Kioloa, and Kioloa itself was my refuge and the place geographically I resonate with more than anywhere else.
I wanted to acknowledge the beautiful habitats around Kioloa and the diverse ecology of the area, and hopefully instill an urge in residents and visitors to appreciate and listen to these areas for their own worth.
Shane became involved with this project in 2008 when we began concertedly recording these Kioloa environments with the idea of making a 2-CD package of raw field recordings and soundscapes made from these recordings. Shane has been the driving force behind this work becoming an installation.
Honi has brought great patience, willingness and skill to this piece, and had the difficult task of trying to capture visually in a few months what Shane and I had done over three years with audio. We deeply appreciate her involvement.
Thanks to Robin and Steve at Kioloa Coastal Campus (ANU) for accommodating us; and to Richard Hardwick for taking us to some special sites, and for assistance early on.
