Soundwalks paint rich, audio landscapes for children to explore, with different guided relaxations. From working through big feelings and letting go of stress, to finding joy or getting ready for the day, Soundwalks uses the soothing sounds of Australian nature to help kids connect with the present, and themselves.
Today we're visiting the botanical gardens. A chorus of Currawongs is singing in the trees and a mother duck is gathering her ducklings together, ready for a walk. All families are different and that's what makes them special. Sometimes our friends can feel like family. What's important is finding the people who make you feel like you can really be yourself. Who make you feel like you belong.
Today we're visiting the Australian bush. Next to the trunk of the gum tree is a kangaroo with a joey in her pouch. The joey hops out to rummage for some food, whilst mum takes care of him. It's important to care for others. We are all stronger when we look after one another.
Today we're visiting a promontory. A promontory is a high stretch of land surrounded by water. In a nest there's a family of magpies with some new babies, ready to find their voice. It's important to find your voice so if you have something to say, people will pay attention. And when we speak, we need people to listen too. All communication must have those two parts. Someone who speaks and someone who listens. Our voices come from being heard.
Today we're visiting an island. Up above the sand dunes, there's a dingo howling to the sky. He's howling to get the attention of his pack so they can help him dig a big hole. What great teamwork. Do you sometimes work together with your siblings or friends to get something done? Just like this pack of dingoes.
Today we're visiting a savanna. A wild mob of Brumbies are galloping across the sandy desert, leaving a cloud of dust in their wake. A mare is encouraging her foal to join the rest of the group. Adventure awaits but the little foal is nervous. It's okay to feel nervous, everyone feels nervous sometimes.
Today we're visiting some mountain ranges right here in the middle of the Australian desert. Some busy grey crowned babblers are making their nest, flying up and down and up and down. Watching on, is a frill-necked lizard sitting very still. Only his chest moves as he breathes in and out. Even though he isn't moving, he is actually very busy on the inside.
Today we're visiting a Rainforest, where we meet two different kinds of birds, a yellow-bellied sunbird and brush turkey. Both birds are tending to their nests and helping their young to grow. We all need others to help us, and to help others, so we can grow and get stronger.
Today we're visiting the summit of a mountain. We're going to journey up to the top, but so that it's not overwhelming, we're going to break the trek down into small, manageable sections. Along the way we'll make some friends, as we piece each small task together to get to the top.
Today we're visiting a forest. A spotted nightjar owl flies back to his hollow where two baby owlets wait. One owlet is very talkative and extroverted, whilst the other is quiet and introverted. Are you more like the talkative owlet? Or more of a quiet type… Happy to watch and listen.
Today we're visiting a leafy, green gully. As the sun disappears, some animals are getting ready for the evening, including a wombat friend. He's dug a big burrow and is heading out for the for a night time wander. His burrow is attracting some visitors, do you think he'll share his home?
Let’s go on a journey to the beach, so that we can listen to the sound of birds, the wind and big waves crashing ashore. Do you sometimes have big feelings? Maybe sometimes you feel angry, or scared or sad? Big feelings are okay, everyone has them sometimes, and there are a few things that can help.
