Bendigo tourist pics
These images were taken in an old tram depot where trams are restored for use in the Bendigo 'Talking Trams' tourist attraction... Had an amazing tour of the facilities after being 'sprung' photographing leftover detritus and 'old tram bits' discarded and rotting in the area outside the restoration workshops. Invited in for a tour and explanation of restoration processes... amazing, and very pleased there are still people so enthusiastic and obsessed with restoring these old trams. Very important people in there own way and will be thanked by future generations (never knew three quarter inch whitworth sprongle grommet threads were so critical!)

Ash Wednesday fires
The Ash Wednesday fires caused phenomenal damage and loss of life right across Victoria. Every summer brings back memories of this time. They were taken on the weekend following the fires where my parents in law lost everything.

NGV print
This image was part of the 'In Industrial Light' series that I commenced in the early 1990's and was taken at the old pumping station at Williamstown (the site that now is the Science Museum). Also in the exhibition was work by Les Walkling, Bea Maddock and John Cattapan amongst other artists.

Castlemaine Gardens
This amazing old tree is at the Castlemaine Gardens... everything was looking a little desperate in this continuing drought, but still hanging on.
New Terrain Exhibition
I recently took part in an exhibition called New Terrain, which finished in June, so this entry is a little late, I know, but this exhibition was curated by Geoff Tolchard (who also curated the Whiteout exhibition) and co- curated by Dr. Colleen Morris. It included 24 artists from the NMIT Visual Arts Department and was held in Ararat. You might notice that my images have both been displayed horizontally (the grid of the Roadkill cans was meant to be a vertical image)... completely my fault as I didn't include any 'how to hang' instruction when I sent the image to Ararat. Let that be a lesson to anyone out there exhibiting work. However, that aside it was a terrific show that highlighted various art practices involving photo media, painting and small scale sculpture reinvigorating the idea of sustainability through diverse responses. NMIT has links with Ararat via it's campus there (offering Winemaking, Viticulture,Herb Production and Farm Chemical use) so the collaboration between Ararat Regional gallery and NMIT was most welcome..
