An organiser of the first exhibition at a new $30 million cultural centre says Victorian Aboriginal artists 'really put themselves out there' with their stories and styles.

As a tourist destination famous for its penguin parade, grand prix and spectacular surf beaches, Phillip Island has experienced a residential and infrastructure building boom in recent years as more sea changers gravitate towards the island.

She said she was part of the Bass Coast's small "multicultural" Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population who were born elsewhere in Australia. "We had a lot of fun coming down to Millowl and just recording all the sounds, the wildlife, the birds, the ocean and the caves and different tree trunks and rocks, things like that, and sand," she said.

He said although some families had personal designs that distinguished them specifically, south east artists tended to use lines and curves that represented the region's landscape. Based in Mt Eliza, he said he hoped to bring a purpose-built, dedicated Aboriginal arts facility, similar to Berninneit, to the Mornington Peninsula.
