Exhibition

1 November to 30 December 

The Beaks of the Bay exhibition showcased illustrations by Sarah Allen. It was comprised of four illustrations of birds local to Hobsons Bay alongside a time-lapse video revealing the creation of the picture book, Busy Beaks.

Hobsons Bay provides significant habitat for birdlife. From resident species to migratory shorebirds, the birdlife of Hobsons Bay is diverse and popular with birdwatchers and locals alike. By showing local birds in contemporary, joyful and colourful illustrations, Beaks of the Bay evoked a sense of place, and raised the profile of species found in Hobsons Bay.
