North Creek Ballina

Apr 02, 2020, 11:02 AM

Australian lockdown sound recorded by Grayson Cooke.

"This is the sound of North Creek, a big tidal estuary in Ballina. Ballina is a small coastal town in northern New South Wales. Recorded on Saturday 21st March around 9pm. 

"To be honest, it sounds like this a lot of the time! The seabirds are still settling, feeding and squabbling on the sand flats. There's less traffic noise than usual, less foot traffic. But life's going on for sure."
