All Right, Vegemite! Peter Viska Comes to Beaufort for a Very Australian Celebration.
SAVE THE DATE: Sunday 25 October 2026, 2 - 4pm

The Cyril Callister Museum will celebrate Vegemite’s official 103rd birthday with an afternoon of Australian art, humor, nostalgia and storytelling featuring renowned illustrator and animator Peter Viska.

Peter will be special guest for the launch of the All Right, Vegemite! Exhibition, celebrating the much-loved children’s books that captured the cheeky language of Australian playgrounds during the 1980s.

His collaboration with acclaimed folklorist Dr June Factor AM began with Far Out, Brussel Sprout! in 1983, followed by All Right, Vegemite! in 1985 and Unreal, Banana Peel! in 1986. June collected and preserved Australian children’s chants, rhymes and jokes while Peter brought them vividly to life with his wonderfully energetic illustrations.

Visitors will hear Peter share stories from more than five decades in illustration and animation, view original artwork, meet him and have books personally signed.

In a generous contribution to the museum’s future, Peter is donating 20 limited edition signed prints to assist with fundraising for the volunteer-run museum.
