Deanna Neville is a Walmer resident, and long-time supporter of Connecting Country. She has been undertaking vegetation restoration works on her property for many years, and also has a set of nest boxes for Brush-tailed Phascogales and Sugar Gliders.
She has recently let us know that she is about to launch her collection of photographs, titled ‘A Camera and A Creek’. Deanna writes, “Two years ago, I was a successful applicant of the Mount Alexander Shire Council ‘Strengthening Our Community’ Grants. I set out to pursue a particular photographic vision of my local creek and produced quite another. I was astonished at the difference a season, and another, of low or no rainfall could do not just to a creek, but to a community. I was particularly moved by the stories from landowners that these climatic events incited and enabled me to capture.”
The exhibition is to be launched on Saturday 9 April 2016 at 2pm at the Muckleford Community Centre, 364 Muckleford-Walmer Rd, Muckleford. Then, from 12 to 29 April the collection will be on display at the Castlemaine Market Building, 44 Mostyn St, Castlemaine.
