Today, Tuesday, February 10, 2026, offers residents and visitors alike a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of cutting-edge technology and the rich history of our region.

Digital Innovation at Caloundra Regional Gallery

This exhibition is one of the most ambitious digital projects to hit the coast this year and is free for the public to attend.
