Sticky Planet Multimedia is proud to present the true story of the man who discovered the Bass Strait, Tasmania and much of the south coast of Australia. Combining comedy, adventure, suspense and historical facts with authentic period costumes, audience participation and beautifully constructed soundscape, Sticky Planet has created a fifty minute whirlwind tour through the life and times of one of Australia's most intriguing and largely unknown historical figures, George Bass, explorer and surgeon.

See George as a small boy who wants nothing more than to be a sailor on the high seas. Meet George's loblolly boy and personal assistant, the impudent Phillip Martin. Sit on the edge of your seat when George, Phillip and fellow explorer Mathew Flinders encounter the aborigines whilst exploring the Georges River. What was Sydney Cove and Port Jackson really like?

Sticky Planet gives you all the facts with a healthy sprinkling of fun and comedy in Strait Up - The George Bass Story.
