Binna Burra is etched in the minds of so many people around the world. In this first episode, host Michelle Walker speaks with Steve Noakes, chair of Binna Burra Lodge, about carrying on the traditions of the spirit of Binna Burra from the early 1930s, and with Dr Renata Buziak, Binna Burra’s first artist in residence and also the Team Leader of the Art.Nature.Science program. Using her innovative biochrome technique, Renata creates a new representation and interpretation of this unique environment. We also hear about how the new Art.Nature.Science program is helping new generations of visitors to connect in creative ways with the incredible nature that's found at Binna Burra and in Lamington National Park.

Nestled within the World Heritage-listed landscape of Lamington National Park, Art. Nature. Science. at Binna Burra is a soundscape of creative and curious minds. For nearly a century, this unique place has been a crucible for interdisciplinary discovery, a tradition tragically interrupted by the 2019 bushfires. This audio series marks a vibrant resurgence, chronicling the relaunched program from Binna Burra itself. You’ll hear the voices of the community-painters, ecologists, researchers, and dedicated volunteers-as they discuss their ongoing work within this recovering ecosystem. Episodes delve into the tangible connections between observation, data, and expression, exploring how scientific inquiry fuels artistic practice and how a deep engagement with nature informs both. It’s an intimate audio journey into the process behind the projects, offering a behind-the-scenes perspective on how visitors might interact with and interpret the work happening on the ground. This podcast serves as an auditory field guide, not just documenting a program’s renewal but actively questioning how we perceive and represent the natural world. It captures the specific sounds, stories, and conversations that define this ambitious effort to once again intertwine artistic and scientific exploration in a legendary Australian landscape.
