The soundscape includes a song called The Irex. The Irex was the name of a boar that took children of the Stolen Generation from their families on the mainland in Queensland, over to the mission on Palm Island. The families would sing this song to their children as they were taken away. The use of this son is not to indicate a family connection to it, but to disseminate a wider knowledge of the song as an important part of
