DINNER WITH AN ADMIRAL

Queenscliffe Maritime Museum Annual Fundraiser.

Vietnam. Two ship commands. Chief of Navy. And on Friday 9 October, he's coming to Queenscliff.

Don't miss your chance to spend an evening with Vice Admiral David Shackleton AO, RAN (Retd), former Chief of Navy. Who led the Royal Australian Navy from 1999 to 2002. He is our guest speaker for the night.

David joined the Navy at 18 as the youngest midshipman in his intake. He stood watch on HMAS Perth off Vietnam and commanded the warships HMAS Derwent and HMAS Brisbane. After 33 years he reached the top job, and he led the Navy through one of its busiest periods.

Few people alive can speak about "Australia's Maritime Defence: Past, Present and Future" with that kind of authority. Expect real stories from the bridge, plus a frank look at what lies ahead as Australia's defence priorities shift.

Your ticket includes:
A drink on arrival
A two-course dinner
A shared cheese platter
A silent auction, with the chance to take home something special

Friday 9 October 2026 6:00pm

$99 per person (incl. GST) plus booking fee

Every ticket helps keep our volunteer-run museum afloat.

SEA-TEMBER — SWAN BAY SUNSET

Does this photo of a Swan Bay sunset bring a sea song or sea book to mind?

Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale are embraced by an extraordinary maritime landscape, with Swan Bay among its most treasured places.

As the sun slips below the horizon across this Ramsar-listed wetland, water, shoreline and sky merge in the evening light—a beautiful reminder of how deeply our community is connected to the sea.

Perhaps this view evokes a song, story, poem or even a book.

What sea song or sea book does this Swan Bay sunset inspire in you?
