Our lanterns are inspired by Menang Country, the land and waters we'll walk along together on 7 November. 🧡

Artistic Director Annette Carmichael has worked closely with Menang cultural consultant Penny Williams and the Albany 2026 Cultural Sub-committee to choose four motifs, each one close to the heart of this place:

✦ Biyarra (Banksia): Symbolic of resilience, adaptation, and an honouring of one traditional way to carry fire.
✦ Kwornt: Representing shelter and the warmth of belonging.
✦ Sea Star: Chosen as a symbol of regeneration and intertidal movement
✦ Moodjar Flower: the WA Christmas Tree, honouring connections to ancestors and deeply embedded in local First Nations spiritual practice

Which one speaks to you?

How to be part of it:
→ Make your lantern at a free Southern Edge Arts workshop, or download the free online Creative Learning Guide and build your lantern on your own time with family and friends.

Thirty years ago, Heather Adams started fencing and planting around Oyster Harbour, wondering how each small effort would shape the years ahead. Today she can point to the harbour itself as the answer.

Tap play to hear Heather in her own words, then step into more than a hundred Albany stories with Albany Is, an interactive audio documentary you explore yourself.

Thirty-five years of showing up.

Peter Bolt started campaigning for a surf reef at Middleton Beach in 1990. The first feasibility study came in 2003. Today the rock sits down at the Port of Albany, waiting to go in the water.

He still pinches himself.

Imagine standing on the sand at dusk as a continuous string of light stretches from Emu Point to Binalup / Middleton Beach, holding one of those unique lanterns in your hands.

Carrying the Fire is a monumental, participatory light artwork taking place on Saturday 7 November, and everyone is invited to take part. As night falls, thousands of lamp-bearers will gather along the coastline.

Whether you’re an Albany local, living in the Great Southern, or visiting for the weekend, everyone of all ages is welcome to take part.

Brought to life by and under the artistic direction of Annette Carmichael, Carrying the Fire is a massive community light event deeply rooted in Menang Country.

How to participate:

--> Host a Workshop: Get your school, business, sporting club, or community group involved.

--> Light Up the Beach: Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands as we illuminate the coastline together.
