Seven sites across the Mornington Peninsula have been transformed with technology bringing them to life!
Experience the Mornington Peninsula differently with a range of augmented reality experiences from Portsea to Rosebud.
On your next walk enjoy immersing yourself with the Fisherman mural at the new Napier Street Plaza in Rye by Mika Husser.
In Tootgarook see the Dolphins and Old Wives murals by Sheldon Headspeath come to life, including drawings of marine life by local school students from Capel Sound Kindergarten and Tootgarook Primary School.
In Blairgowrie you can see humpback whales swimming around you or play with a virtual kite on the Rosebud Foreshore on the site of the Kite Festival.
Step back in time in Sorrento and Portsea and imagine what the streets were like more than 100 years ago.
