NERAM art display at Wyuna

 We might now be well into Autumn, but yesterday was a lovely day with the temperature still around 22 C (72 F). Dot and I had received an invitation to go to a rural property at Kelly's Plains organised by the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM), which is one of regional Australia's best galleries - if not THE best. I gather that the display of paintings, sculptures and some plants was being used as a fund-raising venture by the gallery and there were certainly lots of people present at this open air event. The property, Wyuna, has several historic buildings and is also these days used for rearing horses and teaching them show-jumping. But it also has lovely and picturesque gardens in which the art-works were displayed.

I sat down for a mug of coffee and a slice of cake right next to the old cart shown above, and couldn't resist taking a photo of it. Nice refereshments were avaiable for those attending the event.

One of the local private schools -The New England Girls School (NEGS) displayed handiworks presumably made by their students

I thought I'd taken pictures of some of the paintings and sculptures on display, but looking at the rest of the pictures suggest I was overwhelmed by the attractiveness of the gardens instead. 

For example, the were many models of animals like sheep modelled from wire ... but I cannot see here any in my pictures despite intending to display them!

Oh well! These look like 3 metal stumps!

Here's the main homestead.

And a nice garden shair!

Oh Well! That's it.
