General Admission
60 Mins
August
Chair: Allan Myers KC AC
Panellists: Dr Katherine Kovacic, Dr Ruth Pullin
Volcanic plains, spectacular mountain ranges, unique flora and fauna, all frame our landscape. Even while their way of life was forever changed for the indigenous Australians, it was being recorded elegantly and painstakingly by scientists and artists in the 19th Century. With conservation and replanting in the 20th and 21st Century, and recently with the Budj Bim World Heritage listing, this landscape has been cherished by many Western Victorians, who echo the recorded work of early European artists and geologists.
This session deals with some of this history, with scholarly discoveries being revealed even today. Our panellists, who are experts in the art and art history of this district, will reflect on their personal responses to this landscape and those who recorded it.
This session is included in the Gold Festival Pass, Silver Festival Pass and Saturday Afternoon Pass. This session is not able to be purchased as a single session.
