Art Sale
After the breakfast in the part we headed to the Town Hall where there was a sale of several hundred (!) pre-loved art-works, mainly pictures. It was a charity function to which residents donated pictures no longer needed for their walls. Items were valued and then displayed for immediate sale and some walked out of the door as fast as they came in. Others, like those shown here, moved more slowly, and others were unloved! Those remaining by late this afternoon will be sold at auction - probably for a song, with the proceeds going to the local hospital.
Dot and I cruised up and down the aisles, but there was nothing that attracted attention except for a lovely piece of Aboriginal art priced at about $500.00 (or 300GBP). So we left without buying anything save our $4 gold-coin admission donation.
