Once a closely guarded secret on Tasmania’s rugged southern coast, Shipstern Bluff became an iconic big wave surfing location, capturing worldwide attention in the early 2000’s. As surfers pushed the limits of what was possible, cameras arrived and the secret was exposed. STERN FEVER traces the evolution, obsession and consequences of chasing one of the world’s most dangerous waves.

Join the Mawson’s Huts Foundation at the Australian National Maritime Museum on Thursday 15 October 2026, Frank Hurley’s birthday, for a special fundraising evening celebrating the extraordinary life, work and Antarctic legacy of one of Australia’s most remarkable photographers and filmmakers. Frank Hurley’s images helped shape the way generations have seen Antarctica. From Douglas Mawson’s Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911–14 to Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance expedition and his later return south with the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), Hurley documented an extraordinary era of Antarctic exploration.
