Recordist's notes

While at Middleton for a few days, Kerry & I stopped in at Goolwa. Since it was a bit too windy for recording anything quiet, I decided to try recording the blowing flags outside the Goolwa Information Centre. Between vehicles driving into the car park, just to the right of the flags, and over the nearby Hindmarsh Island bridge, I managed to get some usable sound. Recorded using a pair of Audio Technica 3032's on a Schneider disk directly into a Sound Devices 702 recorder. Recorded at 10:30am on Monday 22 December 2008 sent by John Tudor at 24.03.2009 12:19
