Possum Galore
A life ‘Down Under’!
Wagga Days.
So…I have been keeping away from the Art Gallery and letting the artists get their work sorted. It’s all been a bit stressful since the gallery were behind in dealing with the set up of another exhibition which is opening at the same time but with one day to go to the opening things seem to be getting there now. Rochelle is painting directly onto the walls, Tracy has been putting up shelves to display her 14 carved wooden pieces and metal dioramas and Will was told the sound equipment he had been promised had been used for the other exhibition! He is hopeful that what they do have instead will work otherwise they may have to use his own speakers.
I have been out and about walking around Wagga. The first day I walked around Lake Albert. Yesterday I went to The Rock Nature Reserve for a walk. I should have done more research on that beforehand as when I got there the walk looked a bit more strenuous and adventurous than I had anticipated but I wasn’t going to go all that way and not get to the top, but it nearly was a trip too far. Today I had a wander around the free zoo up by the Botanic Gardens.
The Road to Wagga Wagga.
So…we set off to Wagga Wagga last Friday. We are heading down there to set up the exhibition that Will, Tracy and Rochelle have been working on for the last year or so. They had a residency in Wagga in 2024 and the gallery were so impressed that they have commissioned an exhibition from the three of them. Will and I took two days to get down to Wagga. The first might we stopped in Narrabri and the second night in Parkes. On the first day we stopped off at the Myall Creek Memorial which is a memorial to the massacre of indigenous people by white settlers. On our second day we stopped off at the Parkes satellite dish which is from the film ‘The Dish’ starring Sam Neill. We got to Wagga on the Sunday afternoon after stopping off at the licorice and chocolate factory at Junee.
Jumpers and Jazz in July 2026.
So…here are pictures of this year’s yarn-bombing of the trees down the main street in Warwick. The Art Gallery was exhibiting ‘The Red Dress’ which is travelling the World. "The Red Dress" is a Guiness World record breaking global collaborative art project created by British artist Kirstie Macleod. It is a single burgundy silk dress covered in billions of stitches by 380 craftspeople from 51 countries.
Castle Rock with Caelus.
So…just this last week Deranie and Caelus have been visiting us. We went for a walk with Caelus in Girraween on Monday and climbed Castle Rock.
Sundown with Tessa.
So…recently Tessa was up for the weekend and we went for a walk at the southern end of Sundown National Park from the Broadwater Camping Area. We walked to see the Permanent Waterhole and also walked the Western Circuit.
