“Balnba is the rainy season. Dalay is like the monsoon season, the season of the Cyclones. Mayilema is when it starts drying out. And between Dalay and Mayilema you have what we call the season of the knock 'em down … that’s when the last final rain comes - a big, powerful storm - and it knocks over all the spear grass.”

In this episode of The Collection we explore the Larrakia calendar, learn how two-way knowledge sharing can mutually assist both Aboriginal people and collecting institutions, and follow the search for a rare rainbow fish.

This is The Collection, a podcast that blends science and storytelling to showcase fascinating objects from the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.   

In this episode hear from MAGNT’s Senior Curator of Natural Sciences Gavin Dally, and Larrakia elder and ethno-botanist Lorraine Williams.

 

The Collection is produced by StoryProjects with production by Cinnamon Nippard and Lori Uden, music composition by James Mangohig and mixing by Hamish Robertson. Johanna Bell is the Executive Producer.

Season One was created on Larrakia land in the tropical Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory with funding from National Science Week NT.

Introducing The Collection, a podcast that takes you back of house at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Step inside the dry stores, lift the lid on strange specimen jars and peek inside the deep freeze as we reveal a world of fascinating objects and the stories behind them.

MAGNT’s Curator of Territory History, Jared Archibald, says that “Museums collect objects, and objects tell stories”, and there’s no shortage of stories at MAGNT. Illegal hauls on the high seas, near misses during Cyclone Tracy and the accidental discovery of a strange new species are just some of the stories we unearth in this first season.

Over five episodes, The Collection blends science and storytelling to showcase the rare, wonderful and unexpected objects in Australia’s  Northern Territory museum.
