The Rock of the Riverina
1 JANUARY 2003
A landmark of the Riverina features in an exhibition of art works by Charles Sturt University (CSU) PHD student Errol Fielder. The Rock hill, an ancient and commanding monolith with a brooding presence, marks the division between the south western slopes and the western plains in southern NSW. It has been a strong influence upon the lore and history of its surrounding district. Charles Sturt during his exploration along the Murrumbidgee River used this prominent hill as a navigational reference point. Mr Field says his exhibition, The Rock Hill; Intimacy, Nostalgia and Alienation is a visual examination of the hill’s natural history, its Wiradjuri lore, its spiritual significance, its psychological influence and it’s effects on both his own and the community's identity.
