Sounding the Condamine is a site-specific performance piece and an on-line installation paying tribute to the Condamine bell that sounded the Queensland landscape in the late 19th century. Drawing on folk songs (On the Banks of the Condamine), bush poetry (in particular Condamine Jack), the sound of the bells (which locals say can be heard up to 20 miles away on a cold still night) and the environmental sounds of Murilla shire, a

performance piece involving music, livestock, installation and movement will be carved into the landscape. Footage from the performance will become part of a digital archive which will also incorporate interviews, historical information, sounds and images presented as an on-line installation work.
