MAG&M stages Signs in the Sand
Runs until Sunday, 11 May 2025 - - 10:00 am to 05:00 pm very day
Manly Art Gallery & Museum’s (MAG&M) is partnering with contemporary artist Anna Madeleine Raupach to create an innovative approach to raising awareness for environmental issues in its latest exhibition Signs in the Sand: Anna Madaleine Raupach’s Climate Sign Archive, opening on 11 March 2025.
Signs in the Sand, an immersive augmented reality (AR) installation, is a continuation of respected artist, Anna Madeleine Raupach’s Climate Sign Project. The exhibition will form part of MAG&M’s program for Climate Action Week (10-16 March).
In mid-February the Collective for Environmental Art & Design (CEAD) Forum is being held, where participants will be asked to create climate action signs for Signs in the Sand. Raupach will digitise these signs, add them to her growing archive and place them virtually in the sand along Manly Cove.
During the Signs in the Sand exhibition, 11 March to 11 May 2025, visitors can engage with these artworks via a QR code downloaded to their electronic device.
Northern Beaches Mayor, Sue Heins expressed enthusiasm for the premise and personal engagement of the exhibition.
“Signs in the Sand is a powerful example of how art and technology can come together to address urgent environmental issues.
“This exhibition not only highlights the creativity and innovation of our community but also encourages them to reflect on the role we all play in fostering environmental and sustainability awareness and action,” Mayor Heins said.
The exhibition will feature digitised signs from Raupach’s archive, as well as the new signs created during the CEAD (Collective for Environmental Art & Design) Forum in February. These AR installations will be displayed along Manly Cove’s beachfront and within MAG&M, providing an immersive interactive experience for visitors. QR codes placed at MAG&M will link visitors to the project’s AR platform, allowing them to engage with the artwork in a unique and meaningful way.
Signs in the Sand is part of MAG&M’s commitment to presenting art and ideas that drive real-world environmental change through the CEAD program. The exhibition aligns with MAG&M’s mission to inspire interdisciplinary creativity and meaningful dialogue about sustainability.
The exhibition is free and open to the public, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy and participate in this important conversation about the environment.
See first-hand how art and technology can work together towards environmental change.
This exhibition is part of Climate Action Week.

Anticipation builds for the Hansa World and International Championships: March 21-30 2025
Anticipation is building as sailors worldwide prepare for the 2025 Hansa World Championships, set to be hosted at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Newport and raced on Pittwater.
Fresh off the recent Hansa Class Asia Pacific Championships at Southport Yacht Club, top competitors from across the globe are gearing up for fierce competition in March 2025.
At the Asia Pacific Championships in October, Japan’s Takumi Niwa delivered an impressive performance in the Hansa 303 One Person fleet, securing the win after consistently placing in the top three in all eight races. Niwa, along with Polish Para World Sailing Champion Piotr Cichocki and Australia’s Alison Weatherly, will reunite in Newport to vie for the Hansa 303 Para World and Open World titles. Spain’s Isaias Iglesias, who took second in the European Championships, will also add to the challenge.
The 303 Two Person category saw Australians Chris Symonds and Manuela Klinger dominate by winning every race. Next year’s competition will feature strong European contenders, including France’s Gauthier Bril and Camille Massonnaud, along with past medalists Piotr Cichocki and Olga Górnaś-Grudzień, in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
In the Liberty class, Hong Kong’s Foo Yuen Wai, with six wins out of nine starts, claimed victory in Southport and now sets his sights a World Championship. Britain’s Paul Phillips and former champion Vera Voorbach from the Netherlands will join him in Newport, alongside Japan’s Ryo Sasaki, who secured the Liberty Servo title at the Asia Pacifics.
Queensland’s local talent also shone on the Gold Coast Broadwater, with Neil Rowsthorn, Brent Geritz, and Ross Manning taking the top three spots in the SKUD 18 division.
They will face serious competition from New Zealand’s top crews, who are shipping boats to compete in the SKUD 18 Open and Para categories.
Notably, Paralympic gold medallists Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch will make a highly anticipated return to the SKUD 18, aiming for a strong showing at the Worlds.
Important Details for Entrants:
Early Entry Deadline: Midnight, Saturday, 30 November. A late fee is applicable thereafter.
World Sailing ID: Required for para category participants to ensure para rankings.
Logistics: Visit the event website site for details on Accommodation options, How to Charter Boats, Charter RIBs, and volunteer opportunities.

Racing for a Cause: Manly Inflatable Boat Race 2025
Member for Manly, James Griffin has called on the community to get behind one of the Northern Beaches’ most outrageously fun charity events, the 2025 Manly Inflatable Boat Race.
Awarded ‘Community Event of the Year’ at the 2016 Australia Day Awards in Manly, the Manly Inflatable Boat Race is once again gearing up to take over Manly & Shelly Beach on Sunday 30 March this year, with waves of colour, chaos, and community spirit.
Since its inception, the Manly Inflatable Boat Race has raised over $300,000 for charity. The event will see competitors paddle from Shelly Beach to raise funds for the Manly Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice (AYAH) Australia’s first dedicated young adult’s hospice, and cancer research charity Tour de Cure.
“The Manly Inflatable Boat Race is an epic event and one which showcases the very best of Manly. I encourage everyone to get involved and make a splash for a fantastic cause,” Mr Griffin said.
With over 500 participants and thousands of spectators expected, the 2025 edition promises to be as wild as ever. Registration and float pumping will take place from 7:30am at South Steyne, near Manly Surf Club, with the actual race being held at Shelly Beach at 10:00am.
Founder and organiser Denver Bevan expressed his own excitement for the event. “The Manly Inflatable Boat Race is a highlight on the Sydney calendar because it’s just so much fun! Race-goers love the thrill of paddling through the waves in crazy, colourful inflatables, and the spectators get a front-row seat to all the mayhem. It’s a fantastic day at the beach for all ages,” Mr Bevan said.
Service Manager at AYAH Tayia Yates welcomed the support, saying the funds raised on the day would make a profound difference.
“Supporting the Manly Inflatable Boat Race is an opportunity to contribute to a vital cause, offering respite and care to those who need it most. We encourage everyone to participate in this unique community event to help raise funds towards the AYAH and assist us in creating a lasting impact on the families and young individuals in our care.” Ms Yates said
The concept of the Manly Inflatable Boat Race is simple:
- Pick your wackiest fancy dress costume (the crazier, the better!)
- Bring your inflatable of choice - anything from rubber duckies to pink flamingos, sea monsters, or pool ponies!
- Join in the 1km paddle adventure from Shelly Beach, around the Manly Life Savers buoys, and back to shore.
- Rules? There are none! First to the finish line wins!
In a generous showing of support, 4 Pines Brewing Co have been announced as the major sponsor of this year’s event, with General Manager Adam Dearing declaring that he was ‘stoked to come on board as a major sponsor this year to help bring this fabulous charity event back to life after Covid.” The Boathouse Shelly Beach, Budgy Smuggler and OnlineProjects have also thrown their support behind the Race as key event partners.

They were recognised at a young age for their songwriting, seeing Hazel win the ‘Change the World With Your Song Competition’ and runner-up in the Illawarra Folk Festival Song Competition (2017). This led them to releasing their debut EP in 2021, a collection of indie-folk songs inspired by nature, connection and social justice. They followed the EP with a number of shows including Woodford Folk Festival’s Bushtime, the Glen Innes Celtic Festival and support for Enda Kenny at Sunday Folk.
Their live show is characterised by their blend of harmonies and thoughtful story-telling lyricism, backed with acoustic and bass guitar. It’s a moving performance, with a style of songwriting that will stay with you.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
