Nature Track: Calming Nature Soundscapes for Stress Relief

ABC Science presents Nature Track, a new series that offers uninterrupted nature soundscapes to help listeners stay calm and find solace amidst the stress of a challenging year. Anne Jones, host of Radio Nationals' OffTrack, has recorded these immersive soundscapes while traveling for other stories. For instance, a recording at Robuck Bay in Broome captures the mesmerizing sounds of mud skippers and crabs, creating a natural white noise that can help people relax and focus. By curating these soundscapes, Anne aims to let nature directly speak to people, transcending the limitations of words. The series can be found on the ABC Science YouTube channel's Nature Track playlist or the Off Track podcast feed.

All in the Mind has become a big fan of the new ABC audio series Nature Track. It's been made by ABC producer Ann Jones - who, as well as making the Radio National program Off Track, has been collecting wildlife and nature recordings from all over Australia and the world.

And now you can hear these pristine sounds wherever you are ... anywhere. Nature Track comprises five soundscapes of varying durations, five chances to give yourself the space you need. No music, no voice, just nature.

Sana talks with Ann about her wish to share her recordings, and she brings us a sample of the first one - from Wiluna, WA, on the lands of the Martu people. It’s gorgeous, arid country about 960km east of Perth.
