During her record-breaking circumnavigation of Australia by paddle, Bonnie Hancock encountered sharks, crocodiles, huge seas, gale force winds and near hypothermia, but these challenges were just the beginning.

In becoming the fifth person to successfully complete the journey, Bonnie faced an endless expanse of ocean with no land in sight for weeks at a time and a sea of self-doubt, and was forced to lean on those around her in a way she never had to in ten years as a professional ironwoman. Buoyed by the kindness and generosity of strangers, she was guided home by a host of colourful characters who epitomise the Australian spirit.

DIAMOND OF THE SEA is a story of resilience, a tale of digging deep within to overcome adversity, but equally it is a love letter to Australia with her rugged but beautiful coastline, and a celebration of the unique creatures she is home to.

Dive into a life-changing adventure around our island home, experiencing Australia from a perspective never seen before.

 

Celebrate the World Premiere Screening of the inspiring documentary DIAMOND OF THE SEA on Friday 26 April. Premiere Tickets include: Entry to film plus popcorn. Red Carpet from 5:30PM with the Screening at 6:00PM. 

Please join us after the premiere screening for a q&a with the films Director Jack Lawrence and the incredible, Bonnie Hancock.
