Aboriginal Culture in the Park


My womens' group explored a bit of Aussie culture during our last monthly meeting. We went to the Aboriginal Art Gallery in Kings Park for a lecture about the meaning behind some of the Aboriginal artwork and backgrounds of some of the famous artists represented in the gallery. Then we enjoyed a picnic lunch while we listened to the authors of a fascinating book about twelve Australian women who grew up in the Pilbara, a remote region of Western Australia. It's called Red Dust in Her Veins. For more information, you can visit their web site at www.womenofthepilbara.com.au. It will give you an idea of the strength and determination of these gutsy ladies.

Diana managed to keep the business meeting short
even though it was her presidential debut.

Veronica and her "Italian bombshell" friends, Barbara and
Franca. Italian women have such a sense of style.

Perth city view from Kings Park is breathtaking on a summer day.
