Symbols of Australia
What symbolises the Australian identity? For some it’s the Kangaroo, for others it’s natural wonders like Uluru or man-made icons like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, some might even sum it up with Vegemite. The exhibition explores the diverse range of national symbols that define and represent Australia’s national identity.
Poetry by Noel Smith
We met for just a little while
On that one day of each year,
Each time he was a bit more grey,
And smelt some more of beer.
We talked a bit of funny things,
Of places far away,
We gid the things within our minds,
That hurt on Anzac Day.
He drooped a bit as years went by,
And shuffled when he walked.
He said that things were getting tough,
And rambled when he talked.
But when the order came to march,
He pulled his old back straight,
And stepped along with the rest,
The swing back in his gait.
His gongs flashed on his wheezing chest,
Bright shining in the sun,
His faded eyes were damp with tears
For lost mates in battles won.

Port Pirie Art Prize 2012
The Port Pirie Art Prize is celebrating its 15th year of showcasing the artists and the magnificence of the Southern Flinders Ranges and all that it holds.
From the recreational waters of the Spencer Gulf to the spectacular Telowie and Port Germein Gorges and the Bundaleer and Wirrabara forests this region continues to inspire artists.
Artists from around Australia are invited to submit artworks which encompass a connection with the Southern Flinders Ranges region. The connection can be of geographical, environmental, historical, social or cultural significance.
