TOKYO ▪ NEW YORK ▪ MILDURA

I am so proud to announce that my home town Mildura has a very special exhibition opening tonight. Coming straight from the most famous photography gallery in the world ‘Aperture Gallery’ in New York, Mildura Curator Kristian Haggblom, of Wallflower Photomedia Gallery, is to be congratulated for bringing this marvellous exhibition to Australia.

Lost & Found is a profoundly moving exhibition of collected photographs recovered from the devastation following the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear catastrophe that took place in the Tohoku region in Japan. The exhibition aims to raise funds for the many still in need after the disastrous events that followed the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in 2011.

If you are in Mildura anytime in the next month make sure to drop in to Wallflower at 41 Deakin Ave, Mildura’s art precinct. The exhibition runs until September 5.00 and the gallery is open Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 5.00pm and from 12.00-4.00 on Saturdays. Wallflower Photomedia Gallery is a new initiative of Arts Mildura a community run not for profit organisation that organises five fantastic arts Festivals in Mildura every year.

Thanks to those that joined me at the opening and sampled some boutique beer from Mildura Brewery and fine wines from our local Chalmers Winery, both proud sponsors of Arts Mildura.

Thanks very much Lyn for sharing...

I received this letter from another concerned Victorian after she read about my complaint regarding the rubbish along the Calder Highway in the Sunraysia Daily. Thanks very much Lyn for letting us share your thoughts.

Hi Stefano

Just read in a recent edition of Sunraysia Daily about your complaint  re the roadside rubbish on the Calder.  Vic Roads seem to have decided to do something about the rubbish because you as a high profile person have embarrassed them into action. 

I live at Harcourt and travel to Melbourne at least weekly on the Calder.  The problem of rubbish is the same all the way to Melbourne.  With so much discussion on the environment these days it makes me sad that people constantly trash their environment. 

Unfortunately all the campaigns the authorities can dream up will not alter the fact that the rubbish is there and it needs to be cleaned up and Vic Roads should organise to do this. 

I  am a member of the Harcourt Landcare Group and for around 10 years we cleaned up the highway around Harcourt, however that has now lapsed due to lack of numbers and enthusiasm waning.

The Victorian Government was trying to bring in legislation to introduce deposits on empty glass and metal containers, however, I think this seem to have hit some sort of snag as the producers of the containers have lobbied against the deposit.  Maybe you could use your influence now that you have started the ball rolling.

Keep up the good work

Sincerely

LYN
