Welcome to the first episode of the ~FLOWING LOOPS~ podcast, hosted by Dan Koop. Across this series Dan is joined by six walking companions to explore the flows, loops and lines of the Suburban Rail Loop East, across the lands and waters of Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Country.

In this episode we meet our first guest artist, Jack Mitchell, at Table Rock Point in Beaumaris overlooking the waters of Narrm. From here Dan and Jack will start the walking journey towards the first train station in Cheltenham, but before departing they discuss what it means to walk and acknowledge the lands and waters of Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Country.

In the episode Jack acknowledges Aunty Caroline Briggs, elder and knowledge holder of the Boon Wurrung people. To pay our respects to her story, knowledge and leadership we invite you to listen to the story of the creation of the bay told in her own words: 

“Baykeepers: Time of Chaos” narrated by N'arweet Carolyn Briggs, Boon Wurrung Elder ⁠www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fSRJ03oDwc⁠
