'Moon Sailors' at the Island Whale Festival
As Whales begin their annual migration north along the Victorian coastline, you are invited to marvel at these majestic giants as they meander through the coastal waters around Phillip Island. From May to September Phillip Island plays host to humpback whales, southern right whales and occasionally killer whales, and in July the Island community joins in celebration and appreciation for the spectacular natural attractions.
An enchanting eco-experience for all ages. Inspired by the Australian picture book 'Moon Sailors' (Ford Street Publishing), marine puppets designed by A Blanck Canvas (Light Creatures/Bluey's Big Play) and transcending music composed by Melbourne music producer Timothy Coghill (Hobart Chamber Orchestra) will excite a new generation to be coastal caretakers. Let the roaming constellation whale and captivating critters transport you from the vibrant rock pools at our doorstep to the vast expanse of the universe long after the performance ends...
