Organised by the Macleay Valley Arts Council with support from the Kempsey/Macleay RSL Photography Club, this exhibition showcases one hundred and sixteen “10” x “8” sized images taken by forty-nine local photographers; from high school students through to professionals.
“It’s very special to have such a collection of photos coming together, highlighting the incredible variety of wildlife that exists in the Macleay Valley”, MVAC President, Steve MacDonald said.
“All the photos of insects, reptiles, marsupials, monotremes, birds and marine life, draws you in, making you realize what an incredible diversity of wildlife there is that surrounds us in this special environment. What’s great, is the number of photographers who have been keen to come together for this collaborative exhibition.”
Along with the wildlife exhibition, a coffee table book has been produced with local Dunghutti words for the names of wildlife included. The book will be on sale for $20 with proceeds going to supporting the Macleay Valley Arts Council.
