Until July 30, Tuesday-Friday (10am-5pm), Saturday and Sunday (10am-4pm): Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery exhibition Milloo Dreaming (This Time In A Wetland). Following a year of extraordinary rainfall and flooding, replenishing the floodplains of our region, First Nations artists from the Swan Hill region respond with traditional weaving, drawings, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, historical artefacts and photography. Milloo Dreaming allows us to reflect on the deep connection between our First Nations people and the extensive network of rivers, creeks, billabongs, lakes and floodplains. They will be complemented by works from young First Nations artists in the studio gallery.
