Here is a Flatback sea turtle hatchling. Did you know that Flatback sea turtles only nest on northern Australian beaches? Have you ever seen any sea turtles on The Strand?

Flatback sea turtle hatchlings have a pattern on their shells. Have a go at drawing your own pattern on the sea turtle shell below.

The Language, the Wind and the Tides Toni RogersPeople have been sailing around the Pacific Ocean for thousands of years! As people travel, they take their art and their language with them.

The artist has chosen to use coconuts in their artwork. Coconuts also travel through the Pacific, washing up in the tide. Can you draw your own pattern onto a coconut?

Activity Book

PatternsPatterns are a way to communicate and they are used throughout the pacific in painting, carving, and tattooing. Patterns are often inspired by the natural world.

Look around you. Can you make a pattern based on what you can see?

Share your pattern with your friends. Did anyone draw a similar pattern to you?

ThongaphoneHow does a thongaphone make sound?When you slap a pipe, the air in it vibrates at a rate that matches the pipe’s ‘natural’ vibration rate. Long pipes have slow natural vibration rates, giving low sounds. In short pipes, the air vibrates more quickly and makes higher-pitched sounds. These pipes were cut to lengths that give the notes of a musical scale, like a piano. We hear a different sound from each pipe because hitting the pipes causes the air to vibrate and produce different sounds through different lengths of pipes.

How can we use our senses to explore and test new ideas? Play with sound as you create music with Thongaphone.

8. I open and close, but I am not a book. I can be a dwarf but also a giant. I come in many different colours. I sit on the sea floor.

9. I have orange stripes, but I am not a tiger.

I can move, but I do not have legs. An anemone is my home.


10. We dress in yellow and red so we are easy to see. We keep an eye on you while you swim.
