ABC KIDS Soundwalks

Ever wondered what its like to walk in a field of wildflowers? Amongst the hundreds of colourful flowers of all shapes and size. Their lovely perfume fills the air. The birds are out singing their songs. Hear the pied butcherbird, willie wagtail, yellow throated miner, galah, yellow rumped thornbill and southern whiteface and more.

Winter is here, it’s snowing outside but its warm inside. Time to snuggle up, wrap your favourite blanket around you and cosy up near a fireplace. Hear the soothing sounds the burning logs make.

It’s a clear Autumn day in Melbourne and a perfect day for a walk in the park. The fallen leaves create a colourful carpet under foot as you crunch your way through the park. The birdsong of the bell miner, wattlebirds, pied currawong fills the air. Whilst the waddling black ducks enjoy a swim in the pond.

It’s the sounds of Summer at Cradle Mountain lake. Let’s take a walk down the boardwalk to the boat shed by the water’s edge. So many happy sounds, kookaburras laugh, fairy wrens sing to a spotted pardalote and many more.

Imagine you’re at the beach, walking bare foot on the sand. Hear the waves crashing on the shore. Silver gulls fly over head and hungry albatross dive for food. Listen for the little swimmer crab scampering past.
