The voice of the rivers, the Birrarung and Maribyrnong, converge in colonial tragedy

featuring Prof. Deborah Cheetham AO and Daniel Browning

Acclaimed opera singer Deborah Cheetham imagines the bodies of water, the Birrarung and Maribyrnong, as she channels their significance in her song, remembrance and calling for The Rivers Sing. In a conversation with journalist Daniel Browning, we hear how the lapping water evokes the tides of a tragic history for First Nations people and ask who is really listening?
