Kabi Kabi and Jinibara have been singing at dusk and dawn since their first sunrise.

Light Line is two new First Nations music works, which embed sound at two specific locations, one on Kabi Kabi and one on Jinibara Country —  capturing the majic in the changing light of dusk and dawn.

Featuring Kabi Kabi and Jinibara languages, the works celebrate the significance of the horizon: the meeting point of the water with sky and the majestic canopy lines.

Experience a moment of solitude, and reflection, as you listen to the stories and voices of this country that have always been here.

Light Line - Kabi Kabi can be experienced in Ocean St, Maroochydore as part of the Festival Precinct's Urban Gallery and Light Line - Jinibara at Mary Caincross Scenic Reserve.

This work is part of the Festival Precinct, where we invite you to wander and wonder through our Urban Gallery every day of Horizon 2025.

Situated in Ocean St, Maroochydore (Kabi Kabi Country), you’ll find a diverse collection of works nestled into streets, laneways and Big Top Shopping Centre — blurring the lines between physical, artistic and digital realms.

Suitable for all ages, this free-to-enjoy 10-day art-trail will feature inspiring work from visionary Queensland and Australian contemporary artists, including First Nations artists.
