Sample of participants' comments: The artist helped us to get a realistic shape for our Killer Whale and encouraged exploring to find the appropriate shells. We had a fabulous four hours interacting with nature and working together. Bourke Family We were thrilled with the killer whale. Environmental art events like this are very worthwhile without a doubt - Matthew was totally absorbed for hours! Marshall Family It educated the children about endangered species. S. Coleman We learnt that from very simple things you can make amazing sculpture. Mombeini family The children learnt about
care for our lovely planet. Everything was great and very friendly.

A wonderful festival day was enjoyed by many and the beach was covered in lots of sculptures that would be enjoyed until the tide arrived to reclaim its treasures. The next day of the festival would be held at Bracelet Bay.
