Love Notes To The Laundromat
2025-04-18 09:00 - 15:00 | Nautilus Art Centre, 66 Tasman Terrace, Port Lincoln, South Australia, 5606, Australia
Love Notes to the Laundromat is a celebration of the shared spaces that bring people together. Part creative response, part placemaking experiment, Love Notes to the Laundromat began as a collection of love notes written by local artist Eliza Wuttke to Third Places across Port Lincoln. A third place is a communal space outside of home and work or school where people spend time, common examples include places like the library, cafes and parks as well as more obscure spaces where people pass time, like the laundromat on a wet Sunday evening.
Love Notes to the Laundromat was first shown at SALT Festival in 2024 before visiting Barmera for SALA Festival. What began as an experiment in place attachment has now grown into an ongoing project centered on celebrating connection, community and the places that we gather.
Visitors to the exhibition are invited to pause, read the notes left b0y others and add their own love note to the slowly growing collection.

Salt Bush
2025-04-17 11:00 - 12:00, 2025-04-16 11:00 - 12:00 | Nautilus Art Centre, 66 Tasman Terrace, Port Lincoln, South Australia, 5606, Australia
Saltbush is an immersive and interactive journey through the culture and language of Aboriginal Australia.
Be amazed by this incredible immersive experience from Insite Arts.
Saltbush is a plant that can be found throughout Australia in almost all Aboriginal lands, and so it represents a common thread between all the different nations of Australian Indigenous peoples. This shared idea acted as a point of inspiration for the narrative, contemporary painting, dance and instrumental music that were created by the Aboriginal artists in this production. These artistic forms were used as a means of interpreting the natural features of the landscape in an Indigenous mythological context. Through its sensor and infrared cameras, Saltbush allows the children to interact, play and perform in the production and provides an immersive experience of the artwork. This also provides a unique experience for parents and teachers as they watch the children become involved. The narrative centres on the journey of two friends and their spiritual guide on foot as they cross Australian landscapes – river country, an urban landscape, desert and the sea. The journey is one of discovering the land, growing an understanding and acknowledging how it challenges or provokes personal journeys. TPO’s award winning artistry in multi-media theatre for young people is combined with the work of acclaimed professional Aboriginal artists Lou Bennett (music), Delwyn Mannix (visual art), Deon Hastie and Anna Balducci (choreography), Sasha Zahra (dramaturgy) under the artistic direction of former Come Out director Jason Cross and TPO director Davide Venturini. The recent tour of Saltbush to China in 2024 was generously supported by the Creative Australia International Travel Fund.

Daylight Meets Tour
2025-04-11 14:00 - 17:30 | Soundcity, 27 Tasman Tce, Port Lincoln, South Australia, 5606, Australia
A triple act tour of epic proportions, two 6 piece bands and a rockin’ duo hit the road from the East Coast to South Australia.
The raw rolling sounds of Benji & The Saltwater Sound System will have everyone on the dance floor with their Pacific grooves garnished with sweet guitar licks and feet-pounding horns. This tour coincides with the release of their latest single ‘Where The Daylight Meets’
Robyn Martin returns to the Eyre Peninsula this time with a full 6 piece band in tow. With a sound that is distinctly Australian, her music traversing a wide terrain from deep pocket soul, mixed with heart warming, thought provoking folk sensibilities, to the occasional country hoedown singalong and a sprinkle of grungy angst rock.
Karl S Williams and Sally Wiggins make music that is steeped in delta blues, gospel and old-time folk. Poetic sensibilities call to mind the classic singer-songwriters of yesteryear. With a voice that sounds about a thousand years old, Karl moves between guitar, piano and banjo. Sally’s mesmerising rhythms are drawn from her wealth of jazz and Afro influences. Karl proudly traces his bloodlines to the Butchulla and Darug people of Australia’s First Nations. This deep connection to the landscape of his homeland pervades his work and infuses it with a spirituality that is older than time.
Just a year into their journey the pair have already clocked up appearances at festivals such as Kiama Jazz & Blues, Wintermoon, Tamworth Country Music and Echuca Winter Blues and opened for The Whitlams, The Cruel Sea and Ash Grunwald.
