Prehistoric Bayside Museum – Inaugural Open Day
16 November 2025
The first open day for the Prehistoric Bayside Museum will be on November 16th, 2025, and it's free for all to visit!
Come and see some of the biggest Megalodon teeth ever found in Australia, the biggest tooth ever found on the continent, and the remains of giant prehistoric megafauna!
Starting at 1130am, members of the public will get the opportunity to come through the museum for the very first time, inspecting fossil remains, whilst getting the opportunity to touch and feel fossil bones from the scientifically important fossil sites of Beaumaris and Black Rock (both more than 5 million years of age!)
Palaeontologist and Curator of the Prehistoric Bayside Museum, Ben Francischelli, will give a talk at the Motor Yacht Squadron at 12 noon, showcasing the newest finds from across the Bay and how these fossils are changing our understanding of the evolution of numerous groups of animals.
These events are extremely popular, so don't miss out. This event will start at 1130am, and will end at 5pm.

Fare changes for young people and senior Victorians - Free PTV Youth Myki Cards
From 1 January 2026, a new Youth myki will be introduced providing free travel for young people on all public trains, trams and buses in Victoria.
To be eligible for the new Youth myki you must be a Victorian aged under 18.
The new Youth myki will be available before the end of the year and can be used like any other myki to tap on and travel through ticket gates at stations and when getting on a bus or tram. Children living in non-myki areas will be eligible for the same free travel.
In addition, all Victorian Senior Card holders with a Seniors myki will be able to travel anywhere in the state, for free on weekends. The existing 50 per cent discount will continue to apply for seniors on weekdays.
Seniors will not need to obtain a new myki card. They will be able to present their Senior myki or tap on or off, as normal.
Concession discounts will continue to apply for Victorian Health Care Card holders, 18 year olds, tertiary students and a range of other concession card holders.
