    Me, rowing at the gym alone. Rowing is my exercise of choice, every night since a year ago. When I row with my eyes closed for 1-3 hours, it is a meditative experience that gives me clarity of thought and creative inspiration.

    I recorded this track at Scrivener Dam in Weston Creek (ACT) on Sunday, the 27th of August. It was late-afternoon and there were cockatoos landing on the grass behind me, as well as some equally large black-feathered birds that were perching on a nearby tree. Some large mammal-type of animal could also be heard breathing heavily but I could not see what it was.

    It was getting late in Corin Forest so I decided to walk back to my car. On the way I noticed the crickets chirping which I just had to share with my listeners, even if I risked walking through the forrest trail in the dark.

    Another recording from Corin Forest, in the Australian Capital Territory. This one was made on top of a felled tree trunk next to the main trail. There was snow everywhere and the birds were barely chirping which made the small gusts of wind traveling through the forrest more obvious to hear.

    I recorded this at the Woodstock Nature Reserve, on the side of a hill full of trees, with the Murrumbidgee river at the bottom. It was getting dark and I was a steep climb to get back to my car, so I promised myself to get closer to the river the next time I go there.

    Sounds of nature from the Woodstock Nature Reserve at the north part of Canberra. I recorded this sitting amongst some trees that shielded me from the worst of the cold wind. Luckily it did not rain while I was there and I could admire the beautiful valley before me.
