UNDERSONG is a Tasmanian journey into Country.

What is home? What does it mean to us?

In this evocative journey around Tasmania, Hilary Burden attempts to tune into the subtle, underlying sounds of this island’s landscape, to understand the nature of this place, our identity within it, and our shared awareness of our common past.

It’s the stories of Tasmanian landscapes and environments seen through the journeys of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women, 

A recollection of Tasmania between natural history, literary reference and historical memorial which may just get you thinking about your place in, and relationship with, Tasmania.
