Rock out to the sounds of the Martuwarra

Posted on May 28, 2026

Want to listen to the sounds of the Martuwarra in the car, or at your desk? We've put together a Spotify playlist for you to spend time with the Martuwarra for a while. Some tracks are by Kimberley artists - others are inspired by the river itself. Together, they create a collection of music connected to Country, community and the Martuwarra.

There is something about listening to music connected to the Martuwarra that makes the river feel less abstract. Instead of simply reading about a place that matters, listeners hear echoes of it, and are reminded that the Martuwarra is not a backdrop - it is alive. It holds stories, families, culture and responsibility. Music can help that truth land in a way that plain information sometimes cannot.
