A mysterious cave, dimly lit in hues of blue and orange, evokes wonder and exploration. Ethereal light forms hint at a mystical presence
Ethereal figures gather around a campfire, gazing at a constellation above. The scene blends human connection with the cosmos in a dreamlike, symbolic display.

The Earth Above: A Deep Time View of Australia’s Epic History

The Earth Above: A Deep Time View of Australia’s Epic History is an immersive full dome experience exploring Australia's past 140,000 years. Through an incredible visual presentation, the planetarium-style show shares traditional and scientific knowledge to tell Australia’s epic story.
 
Audiences will be transported to four locations across the country: Girraween Lagoon on Larrakia and Wulna Country outside Darwin in the NT; Cloggs Cave on GunaiKurnai Country in Victoria’s East Gippsland region; Lake Mungo in NSW on the land of the Barkandji/Paakantyi, Ngiyampaa and Mutthi Mutthi people; and Jiigurru (Lizard Island) on the Great Barrier Reef, which is sacred to many, including the Dingaal community.

This project was made possible thanks to the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH), produced by the Deakin MotionLab in collaboration with First Nations communities and UOW Science Space.

 

 

Please note: Latecomers will not be permitted.

This is an immersive dome experience. Seating will be primarily on bean bags but chairs are available.
