In Edition 4 of Visions we'll reveal how the simple-minded yabby survives by listening into an underwater broadband network, and how the University of Melbourne has supported the Shepparton Arts Festival.
Yabbies Tuning Into Underwater Broadband
Research reveals that yabbies and crustaceans have the same ability as sharks and stingrays to tune into underwater electrical signals to avoid predators or capture food.

Shepparton Arts Festival
The University’s SheppARTon Festival sponsorship, now in its third year, is aimed at helping to further strengthen its ties and extend collaborations within the Goulburn Valley community.
University involvement in the 2007 SheppARTon Festival events included performances by Victorian College of the Arts dance students during a ‘spectacular cuisine’ presentation by acclaimed Chef Jacques Reymond. The University’s School of Rural Health also hosted a SheppARTon Festival keynote address by Dr Rowan Gillies, the outgoing President of the International Council of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
