Each night, Devonport’s foreshore comes to life with “Sky to Sea” Sound & Light Show telling the captivating story of Mersey River from Cradle Mountain to Bass Strait.
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. As evening falls, Devonport’s urban landscape comes alive before a dramatic night-time storm over Bass Strait.
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.
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.
