Experience the wonders of Western Australia’s incredible Ningaloo Reef in the amazing, immersive cinema dome experience Ningaloo – Australia’s Other Great Reef, opening at the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle this weekend.

Travel with marine explorers and local film-makers Prospero Productions as they journey beneath the waves in their two-man submarine Odyssea, to witness the reef’s spectacular, once a year, mass coral spawning. Join scientist Anna Cresswell as she documents the beautifully rich cycle of life triggered by this annual event.

Ningaloo – Australia’s Other Great Reef will have its world premiere at the WA Maritime Museum, followed by a five-week screening from 29 December 2018 to 31 January 2019. Shot in 4K resolution using a super wide 200-degree fisheye lens, this is a unique opportunity to explore one of the wonders of Western Australia in an exciting immersive cinema dome experience.

“Western Australia has some of the most incredible biodiversity on the planet and Ningaloo provides a wonderful opportunity for people to get truly close to this spectacular, World Heritage Listed marine environment without having to get their feet wet,” WA Museum CEO Alec Coles said.

Prospero Productions Producer, Joint Managing Director and submarine operator Ed Punchard said: “The opportunity to record this rare, visually stunning underwater event and create a film that entertains, informs and inspires audiences is what drives us as film-makers.”

At Ningaloo – Australia’s Other Great Reef, you’ll also:

  • Watch the explosion of marine life sparked by this once-a-year spawning event; and
  • Meander through the reef’s turquoise waters with majestic whale sharks.

The Ningaloo – Australia’s Other Great Reef immersive dome experience is suitable for all ages. For more information or to book your ticket, visit http://museum.wa.gov.au/museums/wa-maritime-museum/ningaloo-dome-experience
