Thanks to Emily and Jenny for this currawong-packed sweeper, recorded on the land of the GunaiKurnai people.

TRANSCRIPT: The carolling calls and keening cries of many currawongs echoing through the area. Wind and wind distortion. A child makes small noises and adults respond in kind. More birdsong and wind. Footsteps. Emily says, “This is Emily,” Jenny says, “This is Jenny,” and Emily adds, “And you’re listening to Queer Out Here.” As Emily says this, all the birds stop calling. “Oh, just when they finish!” says Jenny, and Emily laughs.
