Location
Ephemera 2025 will be displayed along The Strand in Townsville, Australia. The Strand is a 2.2km world-class beachfront open space custom-built for enjoyment. This iconic beachfront forms part of a 10.9km stretch of palm tree lined bike and walkway paths, safe swimming beaches, picturesque picnic spots, playgrounds, exercise stations, a water park and restaurants and bars with spectacular water views.
Visitors can enjoy the free family fun of The Strand Water Park, fish off the pier, choose to get active with a leisurely walk, an invigorating run, or a scenic cycling adventure, or simply laze on the beach and enjoy the million-dollar views of Magnetic Island. The Strand offers the best of all worlds.
For avid photographers and nature enthusiasts, The Strand is a haven for capturing unforgettable moments. With its awe-inspiring sunsets, shimmering blue waters, and the distant Magnetic Island as a backdrop, this is a photographer's paradise, offering endless opportunities for breathtaking shots.
Name Our Mascot
The 2025 Ephemera mascot has arrived, and a little birdy told us they need a name! This little creature is an Olive-backed Sunbird, a bird local to much of Queensland’s coast.
We need your help to name our new friend. We’re taking suggestions until 11:59pm, 20 January 2025. Keep an eye on Townsville City Galleries’ Facebook page in February 2025 for the name announcement.
The Ephemera mascot was influenced by Selwyn Johnson’s artwork, Aranda, 2024.
