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.
