Around fifty people
attended the launch of The Glass Trail at the ‘Totally Shattered’ glass studio
near Queenscliff on Friday 4 July.

Executive Director of Tourism Greater Geelong and the
Bellarine, Roger Grant, performed the official opening by reading a message in
a bottle – a late nineteenth century ‘torpedo’ bottle that originally held
water from the mineral springs at Clifton Springs. Despite the bottle’s age,
its message read, “The Glass Trail is now open”!
The Glass Trail is an initiative of the Festival of Glass
and Glass Trail members provided an exhibition of their work at the launch.
Roger Grant said that overall, arts/cultural events attract more people than
sports events and that the Glass Trail – like The Taste Trail - would give
visitors to the area another reason to stay in the area, rather than just pass
through.
