SEA-TEMBER

Vote for your favourite Sea song or sea book! Witness Blue Pharos, the lighting up blue of our lighthouses and other buildings in the Borough. Enjoy live music at the Boat Shed on Thursday night. Tour the lighthouse in the evening, while it's lit up blue.

Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale are lighting our towns, lighthouses and harbour blue, and counting down the top 10 sea songs, as chosen by you. Join us to celebrate, sing and dance at the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum on Thursday September 24, 2026.
