Eels and Underwater Immersion

The team are joined by Cara Hull, who is currently on location at the Bass Coast on the Great Southern Reef. She has gone in search of short-finned eels, which acts as the impetus for an entertaining discussion regarding their patterns of movements and places of habitat – surprising the hosts to find out that you can find eels as close to home as the sewers of St Kilda.

Next, the team speak to photographic artist Fiona Basile. Fiona provides living proof that good things come in 3’s: as she discusses the ‘immersion experience’, followed by her latest book ‘immerse’, and her exhibition at the upcoming Southside Festival. She talks alongside Freya McFarlane, the producer of the Frankston Arts Centre to talk furthermore about Southside Festival, which takes place on May 10th.

They also talk to Jeff Manard, who tickles his indulgence in marine based movies by analysing the worst underwater films of all time: this week’s film posing him to ask the question – “How did we ever get to the top of the food chain”?
