Today is the final day of Nature Festival, and there’s still time to get out, explore and make the most of it.

Spend time in the sunshine, swap seeds, discover stories, spot wildlife, listen to live music, get creative or dive into conversations about our changing natural world.

Our SEED theme has been all about small beginnings, new connections and the possibilities that grow when we nurture them. Explore the program and make the most of our final day 🌱

We had such a fun time bringing Opal Evolution III Light From Deep Time to the masses again this year! Thank you to everyone who came to see our colourful parade of Cretaceous Creatures, Short film by George Graetz, our projection and lighting creative installation by Nic Mollison and the stage set up by Hektik FX for A2B2 to play the cinematic soundtrack to tie it all together. It couldn't happen without the support from OSCA Nature Festival Andamooka Opal Showroom Underground Opal & Mineral Museum Tita's Treats Portable Solar Stations Arid Recovery Roxby Council Australia Post Andamooka Observatory and many may more. Thank you!

Here are some of the shots we got on the night, we would LOVE to see yours!
