Islands in the Sea
We have been exploring, mapping and filming in the Batemans Bay Area for several years and so EXCITED to launch a show of footage we collected! This show highlights the underwater ROVs and takes you on an undersea tour of the Bay, from the Clyde River to deep beyond the Tollgate Islands. You will see incredible underwater gardens, rich diversity of fish and habitats you didn’t know existed. This event offers something for everyone – adults, families, nature-lovers, recreational fishers, divers… anyone who is curious about what lies beneath when they look out over Batemans Bay.
Check out our Events calendar for show times at the Batemans Bay Soldier’s Club and book ahead at www.trybooking.com/ZTXO

Three Aussie teams at RobotX 2018
There are three teams from Australia participating in this year’s RobotX Challenge on Oahu, Hawaii. RobotX is a highly complex robotic competition that focuses on autonomous surface vehicle platforms and sensors.
This year, students are challenged to design, build and deploy an autonomous vehicle that will “listen” for and follow underwater signals, navigate obstacles, scan for codes and find totems.
We are wishing all these teams the best of luck with this monumental challenge!
