THE EXPERIMENT: REMEMBERING THE NATIONAL GROWTH CENTRE
UNTIL DECEMBER 15
It’s been 40 years since Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, NSW premier Robert Askin and Victorian premier Rupert Hamer signed the Albury-Wodonga Area Development Agreement in Wodonga.
It was part of the national Growth Centre Project, a bold plan to turn Albury-Wodonga into a major inland centre. At the time, Albury’s population was approximately 30,000 people while Wodonga had 13,000 residents. Jobs, development, tourism and housing were a major focus of the project, which mapped out the growth of the twin cities, Albury and Wodonga. The Experiment: Remembering the National Growth Centre explores how the twin cities have been imagined, promoted and grown since 1973. The exhibition features objects, photographs, archives and personal accounts from residents that highlight the experience of being part of an experiment that focused the nation’s attention on Albury-Wodonga as never before.
CROSSING PLACE
UNTIL JUNE 12, 2014
This exhibition tells the story of Albury from first contact with the Wiradjuri, traditional owners of the land to the City we share today. The exhibition includes the story of the Bonegilla Migrant Reception & Training Centre and other key influences on the region. On the second Sunday of the month enjoy a free guided tour of ‘The Crossing Place’ exhibition provided by the museum’s curator or experience an audio tour of the ‘Crossing Place, a story of Albury’ exhibition. Listen to first hand memories of significant events in Albury’s history and you’ll feel as if you were there!. Crossing Place Boxes are available for loan to groups. Enjoy a chat with family and friends over the contents of a Crossing Place Box. Memories and conversation will flow once you discover what’s inside. Old and New Time Games will take you on a journey through childhood fun and games. Play a round of simple Snap or dominos, test your mind with a hand of Bridge or challenge your friends to a poker night. For more information, phone (02) 6023 8333.
FIRST FLIGHT
UNTIL FEBRUARY 2
In 1911, mechanics Azor Robbins and Alexander Porter embarked on an ambitious plan to build their own monoplane. Spurred on by the world’s new fascination for flight, the young mechanics set up shop in Albury and began work. In March 1913 the home-built monoplane was fitted with the Robbins and Porter-designed and constructed flat-four engine and underwent taxi trials. On July 27, 1913 it was taken to Bungowannah Park Estate and, in front of six witnesses, it flew six metres off the ground. The trial was repeated a few days later but after a mechanical malfunction the plane never flew again. A life-size replica of the Robbins and Porter monoplane has been hung from the Albury Library Museum ceiling.
WIRADJURI TALKBACK

INDIGO VINEYARD
TREES & LEAVES: PRINT SERIES EXHIBITION
UNTIL DECEMBER 31
Trees and Leaves is an exhibition by Stanley based artist Chris Dormer. It consists of small works that are simple and evocative and inspired by her life as an artist, gardener and lover of trees. Chris is exhibiting original one-off prints and monoprints that use the leaf as a metaphor for the tree and the natural world. Chris is a practising artist working in textiles and more recently, printmaking. She regularly exhibits her work in local and regional galleries and art shows. In February this year her work was shown in the Block X Block printmakers’ exhibition at Arts Space Wodonga. She works from her studio at home in Stanley and at the Creators Artspace studio on the Lincoln Causeway in Wodonga. This new print series explores the micro and macrocosms of the leaf, its shape, texture and nuances. These are highlighted by their changing positions, shapes and relationships such that the parts can then be seen as of the whole, creating vistas, landscapes and imagined places. Open Wednesdays to Sundays. For more information, phone Indigo Vineyard on (03) 5727 0233.

FRED WILLIAMS — THE PILBARA SERIES
UNTIL JANUARY 28
The Pilbara Series celebrates one of the great series of landscape paintings in twentieth century Australian art. Fred Williams pioneered a new vision of the Australian landscape, and became one of the most important Australian artists. He first visited the Pilbara, a remote area in Australia’s far north-west, in May 1979 and was motivated by its exceptional beauty. By mid-June, Williams had produced almost 100 gouaches of the Pilbara. He continued to produce works years after his visit. Large in scale and striking in colour, they are powerfully evocative of the Pilbara and in many ways operate as both symbolic and representational depictions of inland Australia.
