Great White Shark 3D Movie

Misrepresented, maligned and misunderstood, the White Shark is an iconic predator: the creature we love to fear.

Great White Shark will explore the White Shark’s place in our imagination, in our fears, and in the reality of its role at the top of the oceanic food chain.

The Antarctica Experience

6 - 8 July | 10am - 2pm

The Antarctica Experience uses the latest 360-degree, high-definition virtual reality technology to transport viewers to the frozen continent where they’ll explore Antarctica from a helicopter cockpit, get up close to an adorable penguin colony, witness the spectacular Southern Lights and see first-hand the fascinating work of Australian scientists at Davis Station.

This ground-breaking immersive experience is the work of WA film-maker Briege Whitehead, of White Spark Pictures, who partnered with BAFTA award-winning director Phil Harper.
