I have extended this call out to current Lockdowns. I started a call out asking people to share their daily lockdown walks for an art project when Melbourne went into their fourth lockdown. I have shared them here >> and on twitter.
Share your walk if in Australia:
1: go for a walk
2: call tel: +61 3 90084229
3: describe your walk (leave a message of 2-3 minutes)
4: then it’s shared online (behind the scenes I transcribe into text)
* I will contact you once I have received your message for more details
Share your walk using an audio app:
1: go on a walk
2: record audio describing the walk
Use the audio recording app on your smart phone, (for example, Voice
Memo in iPhone, Telegram voicemail, Voice Recorder on Samsung)
3: Email me your recorded audio file at walks@123mail.org
4: Include the following details:
Your name: [optional]
Area walked: [eg suburb/area, city and country]
Date walked:

Email me if you have any questions: walks@123mail.org
Some of the walks I have received have come from Ecuador, England, Iceland, Tasmania, from Sammy J from ABC Radio and more.
Have a look here at what/how others have shared their neighbourhood through this project.
We have learnt how quickly and swiftly things can change and I am hoping that if you are looking for a distraction from the daily COVID updates, that you would be interested in sharing your daily lockdown walk.
I look forward to receiving your walks!
Many thanks!
