The Earth Above: Full Dome Experience

'The Earth Above: Full Dome Experience' is an immersive full dome experience exploring Australia's past 140,000 years. Through an incredible visual presentation, the planetarium-style show shares traditional and scientific knowledge telling of Australia’s epic story.

Audiences will be transported to four locations across the country: Girraween Lagoon on Larrakia and Wulna Country outside Darwin in the NT; Cloggs Cave on GunaiKurnai Country in Victoria’s East Gippsland region; Lake Mungo in NSW on the land of the Barkandji/Paakantyi, Ngiyampaa and Mutthi Mutthi people; and Jiigurru (Lizard Island) on the Great Barrier Reef, which is sacred to many, including the Dingaal community.

This project was made possible thanks to the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH), produced by the Deakin MotionLab in collaboration with First Nations communities and UOW Science Space.

This is an immersive dome experience. Seating will be primarily on bean bags but chairs are available.
