- 'Volcano' takes you on a spell-binding journey through the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Mount Gambier and western Victoria - lava flows spilling into the sea; underground caverns bubbling with magma; deep, water-filled caves so clear that divers seem to float in settings of breath-taking beauty. Using the latest scientific research, the film tells the incredible story of the eight major eruptions that created Mount Gambier - a story that starts in a local school oval and finishes in the sparkling waters of the Blue Lake. Hosted by Rescue Special Ops' Luke McKenzie, the film lifts the lid on one of the most exciting stories to come out of Southern Australia in the last 120 million years.

- This docudrama tells the true story of one of Australia's worst maritime disasters in history which saw more than a hundred people marooned on a shallow reef off the coast of South East South Australia. The conditions in the Southern Ocean in winter made it almost impossible to rescue survivors on board as they suffered the perils of the sea for more than a week. Historically accurate, the film was written and directed by South Australian cinematographer, musician and historian, Brenton Manser. The production was filmed and edited by fellow cinematographer Robert Tremelling, with historical assistance from the ADMELLA 150th committee. The production was filmed on location throughout the South East Coast of South Australia, and South Western Victoria. A true eye opener, this film brings to life the forces of nature, the courage and bravery of ordinary people, all in an emotive and creative display of re-enactments, interviews, poetry and song.
