Late again, but it wasn’t my fault! (for a change)
Opening night. “Get there on the dot at 7.30pm” I was told by someone from Kickarts. Pick up interstate visitors, rush rush rush, get there by 7.30 only to be told “It’s all over” by a little boy at the door. What the??
6pm was the start time. 7pm was the live dance performance in the exhibition space.
Damn.
Still, a glass of bubbly, and a chat to the artists soon revived the spirits.
Friends since we were just wee things, we stand in front of the suitcase cavern I helped construct.
There have been some tweaking to the interior. They are real shed python skins from the artists’s Tablelands property. Big Mamas by the girth of them.
The central Museum Display case has had some small interior changes as well.
Bugs and bones fascinate me as well. If you get a chance, get along to see this absorbing installation.
I was also honoured to be asked to submit a piece for a forthcoming exhibition entitled “BIG”. Problem is, deadline for submissions is the 7th of next month. I should be saying “No Problem!”, right?
The babies were a hit with our visitors as well. The youngest asked me “Can you eat them?” He even licked them to make sure. How cute is that.
After a whirlwind few days our visitors have headed back south. For many years all of our visitors came like “Wise Men from the East”. It’s hard getting used to thinking “from the south” now. Saying goodbye to dear friends is so hard.
Time, why does it speed by so fast these days?

I miss having visitors stay, its been a little while. good to keep in touch. and show them all the things you take for granted, like jelly babies!
My blog is back so catch up soon.
Wow , what a fascinating exhibit. Wish I could have seen that in person. Looked like a real treasure trove of things to inspire!
Isn`t that frustrating about getting the time wrong…i`ve done that on a few special occassions….
It`s lovely to catch up and see friends but especially hard to say goodbye…
lol….Very cute about the jelly babies…
Looks like the night went well even if you did miss the main attraction….
Hi Cindy,
What a bummer missing the time. Frustrating when you have to rely on someone else and they get it wrong.
Very interesting looking displays. Our girls would have loved to see those.
Hey Cindy…..I shouldnt be here…..still cleaning/washing/ironing after a busy weekend – you know how it goes…….
Bumped into you over a Mandy’s – Now wasnt it only 22 up there the other day (well it got to minus 1 overnight here last night but LUCKILY has cleared to a beautiful day.)
My preference is for warm (26-29)and overcast – so if you could get onto that for August – it would be good. Overcast is good for photos??
Still love those jelly babies…….
Great display pity about the time mix up. I would have loved to see it in real life.
Its fun keeping in contact with old friends. If you think time goes fast at your age wait til your old and it just flashes by in a wink of an eye.
Hi Guys,
Yes, a bit of a bugga about the time. Still, I triple check in future.
It’s a bit brrrrr chilly here, even the pussies are curling up into little balls on the bed.
The wallabies (I can hear them now), are sneaking into the backyard. I deliberately left the back gate open to see if the lawn would tempt them. Looks like a YES.
