  Follow filmmaker Rob Stewart on a beautiful and dangerous journey as he discovers the delicate balance of life on earth. Winner of 40 international awards, this extraordinary film reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas. 
  
  Join us from 6 PM for yummy food and a special guest who will talk about sharks and our Top End seas.

  More about the film

  For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth.

  Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas.

  Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world’s shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.

  SHARKWATER is screening for free:

  Mindil Beach

  A Cracker of a Beach Clean

  Territory Day, or cracker night, is a highlight on the Top End calendar. Territorians and visitors gather on Mindil Beach to watch fireworks illuminate the Timor Sea.

  Last year the Darwin Aquaculture Centre collected 2 full bags of cracker pollution the morning after. This pollution would have ended up in the ocean and some would be consumed by our marine life, including sea turtles. It is estimated that half of all sea turtles have consumed plastic pollution.

  This year we are gathering the troops for a post-cracker night beach clean!

  Bring hats, sunscreen and water. Gloves and bags will be provided. Please join us to keep our Top End coasts (and turtles) healthy after the big celebration.
