Wyndham Harbour will be the host of a smell walk this Saturday, September 7.
Kicking off at 2pm, the walk will be hosted by Smell Art founder and scent designer Erin Adams.
After being provided with a clipboard and pen, participants will embark on a 45-minute self-guided walk where they will record all the scents they encounter.
Participants can come solo, with a friend or family- and pets are welcome.
Wyndham Harbour’s combination of coast, cafes, farms and dirt patches make it an ideal location for smell hunting, described as a “hotspot for different smells.”
The walks will be followed by an afternoon tea, where Ms Adams will give a quick background on the science of smell and participants can share their experiences from the walks.
The results will form a ‘smell map’ of Wyndham as part of Dr Kate McLean’s upcoming book ‘An Atlas of Smells, Stinks and Scents’.
In the meantime, Ms Adams encourages everyone to think a little bit about smell during their days.
Tickets are $5 including afternoon tea, while children can attend free. .
The Werribee CBD Smell Walk is postponed until further notice.
