About this title

Synopsis

When two whales entered the waters of Port Phillip Bay at Williamstown in 2025, something shifted.

Not in the bay — but in how it was known. In how it was experienced. In how it was listened to. Their presence was unexpected, unexplained, and impossible to ignore. Their visit opened a series of questions — and those questions remained: What has drawn them so far into the bay? What are they responding to — and how would we know? What do they recognise here that we may not?

What followed was not a set of answers, but a practice of deep listening. To return — not once, but again and again. To watch. To remain long enough for something to be revealed. Over time, that listening began to change what became known.

Listening Lines are not drawn on maps. They form slowly — through sustained attention, through the body, through returning, and through a relationship that deepens over time. They reveal what is not immediately visible: patterns that continue, movements that persist, and a quiet continuity beneath what appears still. This is where memory currents begin — not as something stored, but as something recognised through return.

Listening Lines: Memory Currents is not a book about whales, but about relationship — and how whales and humans exist within it.

“This book will not tell you what the bay is. It will change how you meet it.”

It is not a book you consume. It’s a book that changes how you perceive.
