Ballarat & culture


The local TV news has Ballarat as a bit of a culture centre at present. They hosted a visit by author Tim Winton earlier this week and now the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery is about to display a major retrospective by one of Australia's greatest landscape artists -Hans Heysen. The exhibition marks the 40th anniversary of his death and celebrates the 80th anniversary of the first exhibition of his paintings of the Flinders Ranges.
Included in the display is this painting -> Three Gums, which is taller than I am, and which I photographed while in their storage department.
So I must make time to visit the gallery again, was there a couple of months ago to view the "John Lennon Imagine" photographic exhibition.
