Author: Binna Burra May 6, 2023 Duration: 25:59

With its origins in the mid 70s, the Lamington Natural History Association (LNHA) has been sharing the magic of Lamington National Park and connecting people to nature in the Binna Burra area for nearly 50 years. Run by a generous and knowledgeable team of volunteers, the LNHA has been instrumental in running environmental education programs for school children and guided walks for park visitors to understand the value and wonder of the park's natural areas and wildlife. In today's episode, Michelle Walker is joined by Barry Davies, the current President and Suzanne Noakes the Vice-President to talk about the LNHA's history, current focus and future directions.

Listeners who are interested in finding out more or who wish to join the LNHA are invited to the group's website - https://lnha.org.au/

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.
