Cairns Regional Gallery.

The exhibition 'Ghost Nets - Creative Collaborations' was on when I visited, and what an amazing exhibition it was. ' Ghost Nets are fishing nets that have been abandoned at sea- some deliberately, some through accident or oversight. Ghost Nets cause signficant harm to marine life, and their presence in the coastal waters of northern Australia poses serious threat to the wellbeing of indigenous communities living in saltwater country.'
All the exhibits, and these wonderful birds are just a part of the pieces, are made with collected Ghost nets from the sea.
