Island Sanctuary: Fact or Fiction?

Join our opening night discussion to assess what happens when art, nature and science collide.

Can we really call Bribie Island a sanctuary?
Join us for the official Opening Night of the Bribie Island Nature Festival, an evening under the stars dedicated to celebrating and safeguarding our unique island home. We will commence the festival with a special welcome ceremony from Pumicestone Indigenous Education and Employment Council, inviting us all to connect with the ancient heritage of this land.

At the heart of the evening is a compelling panel discussion where art, nature, and science collide. Together with leading minds, we will explore whether Bribie Island truly functions as a flora and fauna sanctuary, balancing celebrated conservation victories with the urgent challenges of invasive species and recreational impacts.

This is your exclusive opportunity to meet and mingle with the visionary visiting artists and scientists discussing the island's future. The celebration continues after the main event with a lively post-show reception—raise a glass, connect with fellow nature lovers, and keep the conversation flowing!

Drinks will be available to purchase from our volunteer run bar.
