In this episode, we speak with Dave Groom, a professional artist based on the edge of Lamington National Park. He has been painting and drawing for 25 years and has held over 20 solo exhibitions in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. We explore his approach to landscape painting and his family connection through grandfather, Arthur Groom to Binna Burra's beginnings.

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.
