Recorded over Dec. 2022 and Jan. 2023, during the peak of the Australian summer. The city’s wetlands precinct was created to help avert floods and manage stormwater drainage. Together with ongoing bush regeneration efforts in park 17, the surrounds are now developing as a new biodiversity centre within the city.

For those unfamiliar with Adelaide the capital city of South Australia it is laid out on a grid, a city square surrounded by a square mile of parklands.

This tour guides visitors on a leisurely walk through the green belt area of parks 16 and 17.

At an average pace the total walk route should take roughly one hour, but it can also be experienced in discrete sections.

flakkari

“Icelandic culture is infused with stories of travel. When names were needed for modern machines, the technology that enables our imaginations to travel, words were chosen that centred on the quality of roaming. Thus the neologism for laptop is fartölva, formed from the verb far, meaning to migrate, and tölva – migrating computer’; its companion, the external hard drive, is a flakkari. The latter word can also mean ‘wanderer’ or ‘vagrant’. In the end it’s the wanderers we rely on.” From Nancy Campbell’s “The Library of Ice”.
