From Sky to Sea is an uplifting journey that narrates the story of Devonport and its surrounds over the course of a day. Starting from the darkest hour of night with the Palawa story of creation, the show progresses through dawn in the mountains, the journey of the Mersey River, and fields of vibrant poppies and farmlands. The show is designed to be explored from multiple angles, with projections in the grass, trees, and gardens, towering video elements, and searchlights on the rotunda pillars. Each perspective offers a unique experience, encouraging visitors to move around and discover the different elements. Inspired by the journey from Cradle Mountain to Devonport naturally evolved from this drive, reflecting the landscape's beauty and contrasts. The show is set in the new Waterfront Park, designed to enhance rather than detract from the natural views. Five unique pillars represent different story elements: First Nations artwork, snow gum trees, local topographic lines, Devonport's urban icons, and the unique rocks of Don Heads. Over 350 custom-made "gobo" patterns projected during the show, featuring local artworks from RANT Arts. Drone-shot videos showcasing the local landscape. Music and narration include Dave Gough's Palawa story of creation, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and local band Sumner's hit song "Stranded." World-class video, laser, and LED projection systems. Nearly a thousand lights, including individually controllable "pixels" inside the pillars.

This design presents a cohesive visual story, themed 'From the Mountains to the Sea', celebrating Kempsey as the rich, biodiverse heart of the Macleay River. The design features threatened flora and fauna native to the Macleay including the red-tailed phascogale and loggerhead turtle raising awareness and educating viewers about the threatened status of these important species. Alex Sugar is a Melbourne-based realism painter well-known for his large-scale murals and studio works depicting native Australian flora and fauna. He has a particular interest in merging this distinctive style with still life and surreal components. The aim of his mural work is to translate his studio practice to large-scale projects - strengthening his connection to art and the natural environment, while aesthetically enhancing urban sites. He currently takes on commissioned studio paintings on wooden panels, and charcoal works on high-quality archival paper. He also takes requests for privately commissioned mural projects and council-commissioned mural work. His council work conceptually considers the current socio-cultural and historic roots of the site - contributing assets that are both relevant to the community and act as distinctive artworks in themselves.

The Furneaux Museum is located at Emita on Tasmania's Flinders Island and is devoted exclusively to the cultural and natural history of the Furneaux Islands in eastern Bass Strait, where some of Australia's earliest European history took place. Shipwreck artefacts are a highlight, including an anchor from the 1797 wreck of the vessel 'Sydney Cove' - an event that led to the arrival of sealers and, through them, the survival of Tasmania's indigenous population. There are many relics from other shipwrecks that occurred around the islands. The history of the fateful 1840s Wybalenna settlement is recorded in the Aboriginal Room, which also displays a rare collection of 100-year-old traditional Aboriginal shell necklaces. The Mutton Bird Processing Hut gives an authentic glimpse into the island tradition of 'birding'. Other exhibits demonstrate the geology, fauna, shells, and early pioneering life of the islands. Over 160 albums of photographs and documents cover almost all aspects of life in the Furneaux Islands from the past up to the present day. The museum is operated entirely by volunteers. Opening and closing times can be found on the website or by phoning the museum at any time.
