Thursday 22nd April 2010
Enjoy a day in the picturesque Yarra Valley. Leaving Melbourne at 10am, we will arrive by car approximately 3.5km North of Yarra Glen to Alowyn Gardens. Here we will have morning tea and a tour of these beautiful gardens,
Around 12 noon we will travel North to Tarrawarra Museum of Art. This is the first significantly privately funded public art museum in Australia and houses a collection of Australian art from 1950 to the present, as well as a changing programme of contemporary art exhibitions. The exhibition we will be viewing is "Bush Fire Australia" which will examine bush fire imagery in the works of Australian artists. The exhibition draws on works from state, public, and private collections, and new works made in a direct response to the 2009 bushfires.
We are privileged to be invited to have lunch at Helen Hardham's lovely home in Healesville, where we have catered for a light luncheon served (weather permitting) on the lawns.
