7 Art & Culture Trails To Discover ARTY EXPERIENCES - ONE DESTINATION

2 | Art and Culture

Foreword

Guy Warren Many of my works are the result of a long association with the south coast of NSW. It is a land of countless beaches and headlands, dramatic escarpments, hills, rugged bushland, rivers, rainforest and farms.

The image of a river keeps appearing and reappearing in my work, the idea of “river” is very personal and comes from very close at hand, with every detail of that connection buried in my consciousness.

In 1938 at age 17, my brother and I embarked on a grand adventure by canoe on the Shoalhaven River, from its beginnings south of Braidwood, winding through a huddle of mountains like a loose scribble, to the Pacific Ocean at Nowra.

My memories are about the beauty of the landscape and the river, of being constantly in and out of the water, of battling rapids, of catching fish and camping every night by the river.

We must have passed by the property which Arthur Boyd subsequently gave to the nation and possibly camped on his little beach, opposite Pulpit Rock. I may not have known then who Arthur

Boyd was, but in a strange twist of fate 44 years later, I was offered the opportunity to live in Boyd’s big house and to work in his studio.

The Shoalhaven River and the surrounding landscape are very beautiful, powerful and subtle, but my paintings of the landscape also frequently contain images of figures and landscape intertwined, to make the point (as many indigenous peoples do) that we and the environment are one and interdependent.

Guy Warren still painting at 100 years oldincredible!

Museums Shoalhaven museums are as diverse as they are inspiring. Take your time exploring another world or another time.

From historical exhibits to maritime collections and antique machines - we’ve got an array of interesting museums for you to learn something new and revel in our past.

In Kangaroo Valley at the Pioneer Village Museum, the 150-year old farm buildings and historic grounds highlight yesteryear, whilst Meroogal in Nowra lovingly displays the lives of four generations of Shoalhaven women, and hosts a biannual art prize.

Nowra Museum is found inside the old police station, and a beautiful 130-year old bank houses the Berry Historic Museum, both transporting visitors to times of Aboriginal history and early European settlement.

Along the shore, Jervis Bay Maritime Museum exhibits a rich local Aboriginal history, captivating shipwrecks and maritime battles.

6 | Art and Culture

The iconic Lady Denman Ferry, built in Huskisson in 1911, has retired here. Check out Australia’s Naval Aviation history, showcased at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross, located inside a very cool hangar building with its own flight simulator!

The Fossil House has a collection of fossils and rocks in Ulladulla’s oldest house which dates back to the 1850s. Nearby the Tabourie Lake Museum is a treasure trove of discovery, filled with Aboriginal artefacts, minerals and local marine life. Or step into a world of model railways at the South Coast Railway History Museum and see the story of our pioneering rail and tramways.

Galleries From top class touring exhibitions to local artists inspired by the unspoilt Shoalhaven, you won’t want to miss out on the gems at our galleries.

Iconic artist Arthur Boyd was so captivated by the landscape that he donated his famous property, Bundanon, to the Australian people.

Art lovers will enjoy visiting his historic Homestead and studio at Bundanon, located on 1000 hectares of gardens and bushland next to the Shoalhaven River. You can book a weekend tour of the Homestead which houses a collection of works from the Boyd family and their peers such as Sidney Nolan, Charles Blackman and Brett Whitely. The art museum boasts an exhibition program of modern and contemporary art open to the public from Wednesday through to Sunday. The new dramatic bridge, spanning a natural wet gully will also host creative learning programs and provide accommodation for on site stays.

8 | Art and Culture

The artistic hub, Shoalhaven Regional Gallery in Nowra hosts some of our best touring collections.

Whilst smaller, more intimate spaces such as Precinct Galleries in Berry, The Wall Art Projects and Alley Gallery in Ulladulla showcase our fantastic local talent.

For something fresh on your wall head to Muir House Gallery in Berry, Huskisson Framing & Gallery, Shoalhaven Fine Art & Framing, Van Rensburg Galleries or Millhouse Gallery in Milton. You might end up buying and falling in love with a piece from a rising star!

For striking Aboriginal artwork, you can’t go past Giriwa Garuwanga Art Gallery in Ulladulla.

Heritage Explore our country towns filled with old charm, history and architecture.

The Shoalhaven’s rich Aboriginal heritage goes back tens of thousands of years, pre-dating any colonial history. Over the last few hundred years, the region has yielded interesting European style architecture, much of which has been well-preserved. Some of the oldest buildings can be found at Jindyandy Mill and Coolangatta Estate, where Alexander Berry first settled in 1822.

Embark on a historic walk to experience local history, gaze upon well-preserved architecture dating back to the 1800s and 1900s.

Amongst quaint cottages and old terraces, highlights are the School of Arts in Berry, Nowra and Milton - which is now the library.

Hampden Bridge is Australia’s very first suspension bridge in Kangaroo Valley. Grab lunch at Miltons Heritage Bakery or a heritage pub

18 | Art and Culture

like Berry Hotel or The Friendly Inn in Kangaroo Valley, or watch a movie at Nowra’s Roxy Cinema, an art deco delight.

Stroll through our villages, past showgrounds with gorgeous grandstands, courthouses, and heritage homes like Meroogal.

Experience the nostalgia of miniature railways at Penwood in Berry and Archer in Nowra. They’re a real piece of history and so much fun for the kids. Then venture out to the coast, spotting Australian beachside cottages in all their fibro glory. These coastal enclaves captivated photographer Max Dupain, with his famous ‘Sunbaker’ image shot at

Culburra Beach

in the 1930s.
