‘We have all been in the presence of something in nature that is truly breathtaking. We’ve felt its magnificence and we’ve sensed its yawning reach back into history tugging at our imaginations.’ (Murphy, S. 2020)

Join us at Tuckerberry Hill on Wednesday June 12th at 6pm, for an evening of entertainment, local wine, and evolutionary insights as we take a look at how we can work together to recreate this wonderful country that we all care so deeply about.

We will be celebrating the local wildlife of the Bellarine with a performance of the play – The Spirit of the Bellarine. If you've ever wondered what an echidna or platypus really thinks about (or sounds like)... you're about to find out!

Stephen Murphy, renowned local ecologist, will then take us on a journey back to where it all began - with practical steps on how we can rebuild and safeguard our natural environment for generations to come.

Stephen will also be launching the second edition of his acclaimed book: ‘Recreating the Country – Ten key principles for designing sustainable landscapes,' with copies available to purchase on the night.

If that's not enough - we will be sampling boutique wine (with finger food) from Marcus Hill Vineyard. We thank them for their very generous donation for the evening.
