Tassie Scallop Fiesta Mariner's Muse 2024
Event description
Mariner's Muse
The fringe of the Tassie Scallop Fiesta will kick-off again with the Mariners’ Muse story-telling session.
A panel of four diverse speakers has been assembled to relate their tales of involvement with the sea.
The Muse this year will be held at the Bridport Footy clubrooms, taking advantage of the big screen, but will follow the tried-and-true formula for the popular event – a welcoming
scallop taster a couple of presentations, some food served in an intermission, then another two speakers and an open forum to wind things up.
You can listen to Adelaide businessman David Harris, who came to Bridport to look at a boat
and went home owner of the whole ferry operation.
Creagh Dixon will tell us of his exploits circumnavigating Tasmania in the replica of George
Bass and Matthew Flinders’ sloop Norfolk.
Maritime Safety Authority officer Claire Cunningham will share some of her life on the water
at work and play.
And Mike Stevens is bound to extol the virtues of a recreational fishing life, having a spent a
lifetime studying the subject.
