Event description

This inaugural Science Collective 'adults only' event involves wine tasting, healthy food, sex, music, hands-on science challenges, a smoke cannon, a twittering bicycle and more. Who said science was boring?

Rob Mack will be discussing and offering a tasting of wines from local winery Aphelion which he and his wife Louise established in 2014. Aphelion  has gained a strong reputation for quality and value with a focus on grape varieties that thrive in the Mediterranean climate of McLaren Vale, producing stylish Grenache as well as other regionally emerging varieties, such as Mataro and Sagrantino. 

Then ABC Radio regular presenter Kris Messenger from bugs n slugs will be sharing with you some of the incredible and quirky mating habits of her favourite creepy crawlies.

Inventor and TV presenter Mark Thomson will offer some tips on how to construct bizarre machines that have no useful purpose such as his twittering bicycle.  His Henry Hoke series on ABC TV was a popular show for tinkerers! He might even be joined on stage by a Dalek!

Local foodie Sarah Mitford-Burgess looks forward to providing you with an individually packaged healthy supper from her Real Food Life kitchen to accompany the wine tasting session.

Finally local singer/songwriter Ken Brodie will get your feet tapping with tunes in the country/folk/pop genre, reflecting the cultural diversity of his Celtic roots and being brought up in the Top End of Australia.

Braver guests can try to solve the puzzles on loan from Questacon, our national science centre and Aphelion wines will be available for purchase on the night.
