Subterranean Geographies in Australia Symposium 2022 /
We would like to respectfully acknowledge the Gadigal (Cadigal) peoples of the Eora Nation, who are the traditional custodians of the waters, lands and skies where we present this event from. We also pay respects to the many traditional custodians of the various lands and waters upon which we travel from and acknowledge the strength and wisdom of Elders now and in the past. We want to firmly acknowledge that Aboriginal sovereignty has never been ceded.
The Subterranean Geography in Australia Symposium event brought together “underground” and “underwater” geography scholars in Australia in order to discuss and identify key Australian-related themes for the“subterranean turn” – a “down-under subterranean turn” if you will – and to map future avenues so that this scholarship is more directly contributing to international debates on underground geographies. The Symposium was structured online, over three days. Murray was commissioned by UNSW to respond to each session with a drawing. These drawings will feature in a future publication.
The Geographical Society of NSW and the School of Humanities and Languages’ Environment and Society Group at UNSW are delighted to present papers that reflect on critical and creative approaches to Australian Subterranean Geography.
Organized by Dr Marilu Melo Zurita and Taylor Coyne.

Ecologies of Forgotten Urban Ecosystems
A collaborative project with Professor Dieter Hochuli and Associate Professor Kurt Iveson.
Focusing on active and abandoned railway corridors, and water storage and distribution infrastructures, this project will: document the animal and plant species that have found home in the city thanks to the fencing of these infrastructures; analyse the implications of these ecologies for the planning and management of existing and future urban infrastructure.
