Today Mieko and I went to the regional art gallery in Broken Hill. There we saw different types of artworks, most of them were inspired by the landscape of Broken Hill. The artworks in the gallery were the artist’s interpretation of Broken Hill, and their way of communicating it was by painting a picture. Some of the paintings/artworks used technology in the making of it or were incorporated in the artwork. The gallery helped a lot for our project.

In the afternoon, Katie, Lifei and I went to the Photography Gallery. There were lots of old photos of Broken Hill in the Museum. Also, there were photos of Argent Street and Mining. We took a lot of photos and also interviewed the owner Cliff. We had got a lot of information from him.

Photographic Recollection

Friday 23 March Today some of us went to the Photographic Recollection to find out more information about mining and more of the history of Broken Hill. There were many different photos and information about the past of Broken Hill. Cliff (the owner) was around, so we took that opportunity to ask him questions about mining and what it was like since he was one of the miners in the past. He gave us a lot of information that helped us with our project.
