A maze of lasers created Wonder Above, a canopy of light that led people past the water treatment plant, which was illuminated with the story of the inherent power of water.
A performance stage overlooked the culture kitchen, a row of stall with food from the Pacific Islands, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
Shepparton’s Victoria Park Lake was a maze of performances and visual art and the strong sense of Indigenous culture and connection flowed through the projections and illuminations.

Bands played at the skate park which was turned into a Beat Bowl, with patrons dancing amid the projections on the concrete.
By far the most popular attraction was the Crepescular Beam which took up residence on the grassy knoll on the western side of the lake.

The installation designed by Paul Collison and Russell Goldsmith allowed people to gather on the knoll and be bathed in rays of light from the sky of the crepuscular hours that lead to the nocturnal.
The Crepuscular Beam’s light reaches for kilometres into the dark night sky, accompanied by an emotive soundtrack built from sounds recorded by the NASA Voyager mission.
