Launching our new expanded format with one of my favorite recordings, dawn at Grampians National Park in Australia. Headphones on -- this is a beautiful soundscape!!  The park, located west of Melbourne, is managed by First Nation Australians. Their traditional name for the area is Brambuk. This episode includes an excerpt from an interview with Alan Burns, who when this recording was made in 2006, was the park's Cultural Heritage Protection Officer.
