About This Event

Madelynne Cornish is an audio-visual artist, coach and co-founder of the Bogong Centre for Sound Culture. Her work explores sound, listening and our relationship with place.

Join Madelynne for a gentle one-hour silent walk through Fitzroy Gardens and discover the rich and often unnoticed soundscape that surrounds us. Together, we will experience the park in a different way, setting aside conversation and paying attention to the many sounds that shape this place—from water falling, flowing, bubbling and lapping through the landscape to the countless other sounds that often go unnoticed—while exploring how listening closely can deepen our connection to place.

Walk and listening: 1 hour

No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to listen.

Location: Fitzroy Gardens, East Melbourne

Meeting point: In front of the Diana and the Hounds Fountain

Following the walk, those who wish are welcome to join us for coffee and an informal discussion about the experience at KereKere Green.

Free event.
