NEW!!! UPDATE – RESCHEDULED MAY 17, 10am–2pm

Due to the forecast of very wet weather across the weekend, we’ve made the decision to reschedule the Leafy Seadragon installation to Sunday 17 May, 10am–2pm.

While we would have loved to proceed as planned, creating this work in the right conditions is essential to ensure a safe, comfortable and truly special experience for everyone involved. We sincerely apologise for the change and appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we move with nature.

For those who have already registered:
- If you are able to attend the new date on Sunday 17 May, you don’t need to do anything — your ticket and colour selection will automatically be transferred.
- If you’re unable to attend but would like to donate your ticket to support the Leafy Seadragon, please email emma.hack@icloud.com so we can remove your colour from the dragon. We are deeply grateful for your contribution, with funds continuing to support the running of the event and its associated charities.
- If you previously donated your ticket but are now able to attend on the new date, please email us and we’ll happily reinstate your place.
- If you can’t attend and would prefer a refund, please email us and we will process this for you.

If you couldn't come on the original date but you can now, please join us in registering by Wed 13 May: https://www.emmahackgallery.com/collections/ocean-movement-by-emma-hack/products/leafy-seadragon-installation

Thank you again for your understanding and ongoing support. Nature always leads the way — and we’re trusting that this new date will allow us to come together in the most beautiful conditions possible.

With gratitude and appreciation
Emma

——————————————————————

The inaugural installation “Leafy Seadragon” is planned to take place on Port Willunga Beach, where 888 people from the general public will gather to form South Australia’s marine emblem in a powerful act of collective expression. Professionally captured through aerial photography and film, this first installation marks the beginning of a global movement dedicated to ocean awareness, beauty and belonging.

You are invited to be part of Ocean Movement by participating in the installation or helping to fund the movement and its conservation message. Together, we can create a living legacy for the sea.

At the completion of each installation, we place the strength of prayer over the ocean — a shared offering of hope, reverence and healing.

Whether you choose to stand with us in the artwork or support the movement through funding, your presence matters.

- Join us in creating a message of hope for the sea
- Help us honour our South Australian Beaches
- Help us show the power of prayer as we gather for the ocean
- Participants need to be 18+
- This is a clothed event

Sign up now to participate at the rescheduled date of Sun 17 May: https://www.emmahackgallery.com/products/leafy-seadragon-installation

Registrations strictly close: Wed 13th May at midnight

Thank you to our Charity Sponsors Great Southern Reef Foundation and MusicForTheSea and the City of Onkaparinga

You may know that dark chocolate is a good source of magnesium. Yet, this essential mineral is found in higher amounts in several other plant-based foods.

It's really important to be more vigilant regarding your hydration today, and don't perform any excessive activities that aren't necessary, or spend too long under they eye of the sun. We are just not used to this heat at the moment. If you don't have access to air-conditioning, use cool , wet towels.

Extreme heat can make you feel unwell and may lead to dangerous heat-related illnesses. Symptoms of heat-related illnesses include dizziness, headaches, nausea, thirst, or vomiting.

To stay safe, drink plenty of water and avoid going outside during the hottest parts of the day. Check in on loved ones regularly, especially older adults and pregnant people. Keep cool indoors with a fan or air-conditioner.

Remember to wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and, if you’re going outside, wear a hat, sunglasses and plenty of SPF 50+ sunscreen.

Well, I finished my last day of work on 2025 with a Christmas themed workout 🤶 to energise me through, and had workouts at Marty's on my break; loads of dog walks and hikes, pole gymnastics . And have managed to see my workday in with the YMCA's 175th Special birthday class sets this morning. So....I'm BACK at work again, 6 Jan, making certain I'm feeling energetic, strong and motivated. And so see you soon, for this year: 2026!!!

Enjoying peace and the quiet surrounds of nature, sunshine and walking adventures around our favourite, Clayton Bay. Where my Baldock ancestors came out and were caretakers of Goose Island in the 1840s.
