AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Balnarring Art Gallery Sign


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sign for a tiny art gallery at Balnarring, Mornington Peninsula.
The sign design seems strange because most of the gallery's work is dominated by the work of Aboriginal/Koori artists from a remote community called Utopia in the Northern Territory.
This ochrey, earthy-toned work features a series of dots in intricate designs that tell a story or a legend.

Loud and bright and bold
Outlet for Koori artists
Traditional work

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A separate sign advertises the Aboriginal element in the gallery.
There is a touch of yellow dots round the outside of the circles.
