Reconnecting Sydney with
buried Country.
The Tank Stream was chosen because, once central to Gadigal life, it has since been built over and largely forgotten, & this project aims to reimagine it as a living part of Country that people can reconnect with.

Problem
Thousands walk over the Tank Stream each day
without knowing it exists, as Sydney's wayfinding
is largely designed for efficiency rather than connection
to history & Country.
