Exhibition, Floor Talk and Book Reading - Robert Hollingworth
Robert is a mid-career artist and this series of paintings are inspired by the wild and rocky ranges near Tallarook and the story of Henricke Nelsen. In 1879, a 'wildman' was seen running through the forest near Tallarook, Central Victoria. He was eventually captured, tried for vagrancy and sentenced to six months gaol. He'd been living quietly on Mt Tallarook in a secret underground dwelling for fourteen years. Robert Hollingworth now has a rural property just a few minutes walk from where Henricke Nelsen had his underground hideaway and after several years of research, he has written a novel about this strange man of the forest who turned his back on the European desire to clear and colonise and instead lived a private life deep in the Australian bush. Presented by Robert Hollingworth exhibiting artist and author of They called me the Wildman: the prison diary of Henricke Nelson.

Vale: Jan Mitchell
The Arts and Culture Department sadly acknowledges the passing of Jan Mitchell, the artist who created the Baywalk Bollards. Jan passed away on 17 March 2008. After a period working as a graphic designer in the British television industry Jan returned to Australia in 1984 to continue her career as a designer, illustrator and print maker. Few artists can claim to have had such a strong influence in their city as Jan Mitchell with her unique artistic style leading to the development of Geelong's bollards. The concept for the bollards emerged when she led an 'Artists in Schools' program in Barwon Heads and approached the City of Greater Geelong with an idea to document the history of Geelong through a series of bollards that would populate the waterfront. Jan Mitchell was a dynamic and passionate advocate for the Geelong region and the Baywalk Bollards will remain as a fitting memorial to her vision for the city she loved so much. Jan Mitchell was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in June 2006. She will be sadly missed in the arts community.
