| |  | | THIS WEEK |  | HIDDEN CREATURE GALLERY WORKSHOPS We have enjoyed welcoming young people of all ages (primary and secondary students) to the Hidden Creature Gallery Workshops. And they continue to run this week with the final sessions on Thursday (10am, 11am, noon, and 2pm) and Friday morning (10am and 11am). It’s not too late - you can still go! And we have allocated one session for adults as we had enquiries. Join other adults on Thursday at 3pm and get your creative flow going! Participants create their own moving, speaking creatures using motion capture technology! These workshops use the natural environment, technology, voice acting and script writing to create characters. You will love the creativity and collaboration of the workshops as well as the opportunity to have your work showcased.
Each workshop lasts 1 hour. | |  | SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2

Stardust tells the story of bandleader and trumpet player Col Brain. Before he died, Col placed his most prized life possessions into a cupboard and locked it up, never to be opened again. But what was inside? Told by his grandson, award winning ABC presenter and performer, Joel Carnegie, Stardust is a heart-warming musical quest to uncover what Col wanted us to know about his life by the things he left behind. The Mission follows “Fighting Gunditjmara” man Allan McDonald off to war. As one of the first Aboriginal soldiers from Victoria to enlist, Allan fought at Gallipoli and Beersheba, only to be denied a soldier’s settlement upon return and forced from his traditional land.
