Without the boat owners and festival staff and volunteers there would be no festival for us to enjoy. The whole event has grown hugely since becoming a free event and is of significant importance to Tasmania’s economy. Our Museum is currently hosting the Australian National Maritime Museum’s travelling exhibition ‘War at Sea: the RAN in WWI’ (details page 5).

Michael R.

The ‘search for the convict voice’, the quest to discover something of the inner-lives of figures that have transfixed Australians for generations, is expanded as well as complicated by an analysis of the sounds of penal life.
