The ‘Landmarks’ exhibition is a tour of Australia which explores the characteristics of different towns and areas and how these places have been shaped by generations.  It had much more meaning for us, having just completed our own tour and visited most of the places.

Some collection highlights

Evonne Goolagong’s trophies
Germaine Greer’s ‘Life’ magazine coat
Memorabilia from Joan Richmond racing driver
Phar Lap’s heart
Enormous fleece of Chris the unhappy sheep
Paul McClarin’s glass eyes
