<p>A rusting steamship floats quietly in the waters of Homebush Bay, just outside Sydney. Once used to carry coal and wartime supplies, the SS Ayrfield was long ago abandoned… but never dismantled. Over time, the steel hull softened. The tides shifted. And one day, a mangrove seedling found its way into the empty hold – and stayed. </p><br><p>In this episode, we drift gently through the story of a ship turned forest. We’ll explore how nature returns through patience, how roots can take hold in the most unlikely places, and how even what we leave behind can become something beautiful. Let this quiet tale carry you into rest – a slow journey through rust, memory, and the soft persistence of green things. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
