There’s a new way for residents to enjoy the scenery and stillness of the Werribee River, with the launch of a guided podcast.

River Whispers, the latest addition to Wyndham Art and Culture’s podcast series reveals stories and sounds relating to the water way.

“Wyndham Arts & Culture have released a suite of audio tours that enable you to experience Wyndham over summer,” Wyndham’s creative city portfolio holder Councillor Marcel Mahfoud said.

“Bring your walking shoes, smartphone and headphones to get inspired with art as your guide.

“There are self-guided audio tours, podcasts and sounds to unwind and relax to. There is something to interest everyone.”

Listeners will hear from local custodians of the river, residents and local artists and the significance of the Werribee River and the important place it holds in local community.
