An interactive exhibition has opened in Sydney showing how Indigenous Australians used to live on the foreshores of the country's most populated city.

Warrane II: Sacred Tracks of the Gadigal uses video simulations, soundscapes and panoramic photos to recreate the sites and sounds of Sydney Cove before European settlement in 1788.

The exhibition, by acclaimed Indigenous multimedia producer Brett Leavy, is an updated version of the successful Virtual Warrane exhibition, showcased at Sydney's Customs House for five years.
