Centenary of the Trans Australia Railway Part 2.

WOW!!!!  What an amazing day at The Railway Station for the TAR celebrations.

We had approximately 800 people through the gallery today.
That officially makes the photo exhibition a success. 

 With the gallery open every day for 2 weeks the total attendance will reach around 1000.


A VERY SPECIAL thank you to Ellenor and Ineke  who went through a baptism of fire for their first ever gallery duty.. great work ladies!!


Jenny and Patsy, thank you for your contribution in the afternoon... exhausting ...!!!

It was delightful watching so many people catch up with old friends and acquaintances and of course find people and connections in the photographs.

They are also planning an exhibition of their B&W pics around September. Just a reminder that Management group needs to know of all activities that are taking place in the gallery. We want people to enjoy using the space but unauthorised use is not permitted. This is a requirement of our lease agreement and insurance provider. Security Camera doing its job over night.
