Sauntering Emu and Other Stories: Life with the Birds of the Riverina

As a young girl, nationally acclaimed local writer Dame Mary Gilmore observed teams of horses and bullocks working to change the Riverina landscape. She likened these teams to the migratory flights of birds – birds the Wiradjuri people knew so well. This exhibition features rare images and objects, a wealth of local bird species, plus a selection of beautiful poems by Dame Mary Gilmore.
