Lucinda accepted the award on behalf of herself and Jary on 29 October 2026 at the Victorian Community History Awards ceremony at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne.

The Land Bridge holds a special place in our hearts, and we are over the moon to receive this wonderful recognition!

Our biggest and loudest shout-out goes to the project’s First Nations partners, scientific collaborators and the wonderful community of creators and collaborators on both sides of Bass Strait who helped make this story what it is. Thank you!

We’re also deeply grateful to Parks Australia for supporting The Land Bridge, and to the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Edward Wilson Estate for making these awards possible.

The Victorian Community History Awards celebrate excellence and originality in historical storytelling across a wide range of categories. The Victorian History Award is the highest honour, recognising the most outstanding project across all categories.

Congratulations to all the other entrants, commended projects and award winners. It’s wonderful to see so many extraordinary stories being told and celebrated.

The Land Bridge project was supported by the Australian Government through the Our Marine Parks grant program.
