Filmed over several years across some of the wildest landscapes in Australia, Follow the Rain is about fungi and the living, breathing connections that hold ecosystems together. 

It takes audiences on a journey through the mysterious world of zombie fungi, the secret trading systems between trees and fungal partners, a decade-long mission to name a new species and even the rain-making power of fungi in Australia's arid heart.

 But what makes this film truly remarkable is its quiet reverence for the natural world and its deep respect for the science that underpins it. The documentary captures not just fungi, but the wonder and discovery that drives those who work to understand it.

The evening will be free to members and $10 for non-members. You will need to reserve a free ticket to attend.

Tickets may be reserved/purchased through eventbrite at:
