Overview

An author, sailor, professor and two musicians walk into a concert hall. No, this isn't the setup to an elaborate joke, but the start of a world premiere event that pays tribute to the masses of water that surrounds our island continent, as well as the myriad of life that dwells with in it.

The main folks are Tim Winton, Jessica Watson, Professor Iain McCalman, Bernard Fanning and Katie Noonan, so you know they're all serious. And the event also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Australian Marine Conservation Society with a multimedia ode that uses projections, illuminated sculptures, dazzling light and animated art, so you know it won't be anything short of spectacular either.
