Old Way New Way - artworks by Walangari Karntawarra

Last Saturday's exhibition opening of Old Way New Way - artworks by Walangari Karntawarra - proved to be a very engaging afternoon.

Following a welcome to country by Deanna Schreiber, the exhibition was officially opened by His Worship the Mayor of Hurstville, Clr Philip Sansom.

Guests were then treated to a personal guided tour by the artist who explained the stories behind each of his paintings and the messages inherent in Central Western Desert artwork.

Walangari also displayed his musical talents with an impromptu didgeridoo performance.

Exhibition on until 28 July 2011 - don't miss your chance to see these spellbinding artworks!

Author Talk @ Hurstville City Library - Terry Boylan

Fuzzy & furry anecdotes about life at the zoo!

Share an evening at the library with zookeeper and author Terry Boylan who has just released his first book The Keepers and the Kept: Confessions of a Zookeeper. Terry has worked as a zookeeper for more than 40 years at Taronga Zoo, Melbourne and in London. In his 'zoological memoir' he lightheartedly recounts life at a zoo from a zookeeper's perspective.

Interesting and sometimes bizarre human characters, the day to day running of a zoo and of course the humorous and heart-warming escapades of the animals will appeal to all. Terry also reveals through his anecdotes how modern zoos have developed into the professinal organizations they are today.

"While there is no doubt animals can behave in the strangest ways, the oddest creatures in the zoo are still the ones that come through the turnstiles." - Terry Boylan
