Life on Land's Edge is a magnificent concert tribute to migratory birds by the Bowerbird Collective.
From the creators of Where Song Began (***** Limelight Magazine) & Songs of Disappearance (#2 on the ARIA Charts), this performance will take you on an epic journey alongside migratory birds as they connect continents and cultures. A cinematic concert experience, Life on Land’s Edge draws on art, science, and music from across the ages. Spectacular footage and soundscapes set the scene for two of Australia's most adventurous musicians. Be immersed in one of nature's greatest stories. The Bowerbird Collective are thrilled to be performing in Goolwa for the first time. Please spread the word!
