Too Much Water! Mount Alexander Shire 2010 to
2012 flood events
Focus on Community, Mount Alexander Shire
When five flood events impacted on a small community, the impact was
large, but nothing like the greatness of people who chipped in. Friends,
strangers, neighbours and community downed tools and, at times,
waded in to lend a hand. This collaboration of photos and stories
comes from those very people.

Rumour Has It
City of Greater Geelong, National Wool Museum
Rumour Has It is an artistic interpretation of ten stories from
Geelong and surrounds which have been passed down through
generations. The exhibition honours the diversity of Geelong's
history and throws light on how much we collectively trust historytelling
mechanisms. In its mixed media formats, the show also gives
voice to a number of local artists and artistic forms within the
museum setting.
