National Wool Museum Package

National Wool Museum Discovery Cruise

Featuring > Wildlife Photography and Pako Festa Exhibition
Available Saturdays and Sundays

Port Phillip Ferries has an exclusive package that now features both the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition AND Cultural Bridges: Celebrating Four Decades of Pako Festa. The package also includes return ferry tickets from Docklands and entry into the National Wool Museum itself. That’s amazing value! The museum is only a short 5-minute walk from where the ferry docks in Geelong so it’s the perfect little day trip from Melbourne if you’re looking for something a little different.

Cultural Bridges: Celebrating Four Decades of Pako Festa

Geelong’s National Wool Museum opens the doors to its latest exhibition, celebrating four decades of Victoria’s largest multicultural festival, Pako Festa. For over forty years, Pako Festa has attracted thousands of visitors, enriched the community, and strengthened connections through food, performance, and spectacle. This exhibition, developed in partnership with Cultura, celebrates the spirit of Pako Festa through the objects and stories of the region’s multicultural communities. Port Phillip Ferries is excited to have this now included in our very popular National Wool Museum Ferry Package.

Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition

Direct from the Natural History Museum London, Wildlife Photographer of the Year takes audiences on a journey of exploration of the planet’s habitats, from sprawling urban metropolises to the deep polar seas, meeting the creatures that rely on these places to survive.
