CancelledThe Secret History of Sharks with Professor John Long

Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has been cancelled. We're hoping to run it later in 2026.

Join us for an evening with internationally renowned palaeontologist Professor John Long as he dives deep into the mysterious past of one of nature’s most formidable creatures — the shark!

Professor Long will present his groundbreaking new book, The Secret History of Sharks: The Rise of the Ocean’s Most Fearsome Predators, a fascinating journey through 500 million years of evolution.

From ancient megalodons to fearsome great whites, Professor Long unearths the remarkable story of how sharks came to rule the seas — and what they can teach us about our planet’s ancient history.

Prepare for a captivating presentation perfect for curious minds of all ages. As a special treat, Professor Long will also be bringing along real fossil specimens, including a real fossil tooth of a megalodon – the largest shark to have ever lived!

It’s a rare chance to see real prehistoric fossils up close and hear firsthand from one of Australia’s most respected science communicators.
