The Magical Weedy Seadragon
Event description
A magical transformative adventure from ocean to shore, the story follows a young child who has forgotten how to be kind. On finding a Magical Weedy Seadragon washed up on shore the child must choose between helping the Seadragon back into the water and what they really want - to keep the Seadragon for themselves!
On deciding to take the sea creature home, the Magical Weedy Seadragon casts a spell over the child. In an explosion of magic the child is transformed into a little fish and shot far out to sea! "Turn me back into a child again" The poor child-fish cries. "Only once you have remembered what it means to be kind" replies the Seadragon.
And so, the child-fish begins a journey of discovery through the Great Southern Reef. Raging oceanic currents, sinister sea creatures and a dazzling aquatic talent quest finds the child far from home, but learning important lessons. Will the jellyfish and electric eel help when it all goes wrong? And how does the child learn the most important lesson of all? - kindness.
