Kuyang Exhibition & Lake Bolac Eel Festival

In the lead up to the Lake Bolac Eel Festival last year, a group of walkers and artists followed the route mature eels take from Lake Bolac down Salt Creek and the Hopkins River to the sea. The migration story of the Kuyang, or short finned eel, is one of nature’s marvels. Read the rest of the story here

See the work of the artists at the Warrnambool Art Gallery Sat 9th February–Sun 7th April 2013

The Eel Festival is on again on 23 March 2013 and there looks like there are some great activities.
