Orion, Scorpius and Sagittarius are familiar constellations to us all, but how about Bunya, Mindi and Wanjel? These are constellations of ancient Australia, representing animals, birds, the seasons and stories that were important to every day life.
John will take us on a journey to a time before light pollution, TV and telescopes, where detailed knowledge of the night sky was handed down through generations for thousands of years.
All are welcome to this most fascinating evening. Cost: $2.00 donation, $5.00 family

One Woman-One Colour': Multi-Installation Project
Colour evokes a myriad of responses in us all, it is rich in symbolism and can be apparent in how 'we' as individuals associate with it in our daily lives. 'One woman-One Colour ': Multi-Installation Project allows thirteen talented women artists from the Bendigo Region to explore the significance of colour in two essential ways; The first being the natural associations we have with colour and the second in the use of colour as a symbol through time, place, culture and gender.

Each installation will be in monochromatic tones of the one colour and exhibited in separate locations around the CBD and the Bendigo Pottery Complex in July.
