Along the Molonglo Art Exhibition

Date:

6 Jun 2010 - 9:00am

The Along the Molonglo Art Exhibition will be held at the Queanbeyan Art Gallery between 6 and 25 June 2010, with the winners being exhibited at The Q between 15 and 25 June 2010.

Four major waterways of the Molonglo catchment, the Queanbeyan and Molonglo Rivers and Burra and Jerrabomberra Creeks, combine to provide the lakeside setting for our national capital. Perhaps less well-known is that their valleys also support vulnerable and endangered ecosystems such as box-gum woodlands and natural temperate grassland. Such ecosystems harbour endangered plants and animals and a fascinating range of more common native plants and animals. The Molonglo has been significant in Aboriginal culture for tens of thousands of years, and European heritage for almost two hundred years.
