VICTORIA – THE DRACONID METEOR SHOWER (What’s On Only)
The Draconid Meteor shower graces our skies every year in October. Their name comes from the constellation Draco the Dragon, where they appear to originate from in the sky. This meteor shower visits us as the Earth passes through the tail of Comet 21 P/Giacobini-Zinner.
For Australia, the best time to view the shower will be a bit after 7 pm. Look to the the horizon just a little west of north. You probably want to get up high as the meteors will be very low in the sky, around 0.7 degrees.
Remember that you want to let your eyes adjust to the dark or you won't have much chance of seeing anything. You will need to give your eyes about 10 to 20 minutes to adjust, so please, no checking your mobile phone every few minutes and no torches.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA –THE DRESSMAKER EXHIBITION (What’s On Only)
The Dressmaker is an Australian film of the comedy drama genre, first released in 2015. The film stars Kate Winslet as a femme fatale in the role of the dressmaker, who returns to a small Australian town of Dungatar to look after her ill and mentally unstable mother.
The Dressmaker takes us to the 1950s, where the clothes were quite different but no less elaborate. And what made the movie so visually stunning was its celebration of high fashion against the backdrop of the dusty Australian outback town of Dungatar"
