4A - Glen Waverley - KooyongKoot with David Sornig and Professor Brian Martin (Bundjalung, Kamilaroi, Muruwari)
At the half-way point in our journey we move from sandy saltwater Country of the Boon Wurrung peoples, towards clay freshwater Country of the Wurundjeri peoples around the KooyongKoot catchment. In this episode we are joined by David Sornig to begin walking the Glen Waverley leg, pausing at a confluence of streams to talk with Professor Brian Martin (Bundjalung, Kamilaroi, Muruwari) about his relationships with Country through his incredible hand drawn portraits of significant trees.
David Sornig’s writing has always focused upon notions of place, often walking as a way to write. You can read his award winning book Blue Lake (2018) and also listen to an ABC Radio adaptation that delves into the various histories around the West Melbourne Swamp.

Professor Brian Martin (Bundjalung, Kamilaroi, Muruwari) introduces us to his Methexical Countryscape charcoal drawings and the ideas of Country and culture that inspire these stunning portraits. His work includes exhibitions with several galleries and research projects with Monash University that explore the connection between Indigenous Knowledges and contemporary research.
