Tagai State School was the last port of call for the Sea Things duffle bags on their journey around Australia. After picking up poetic cargo from the east and west coats of Australia, the Sea Things crew traveled by barge to Thursday Island to conduct a poetry workshop with students and collect their creative contributions to the project. Lead by poet Graeme Miles, Sea Things Captain Dave Jordan and Johanna Featherstone, a group of selected students toured culturally significant sites on the island, composing sea-inspired poems along the way. The students were also joined by teacher Jeff Waia and documentary maker Tyler Freeman Smith who recorded the Sea Things Documentary.
ABC Radio National reporter Gretchen Miller also captured students reading their poems and other island sounds.
