NEW SOUTH WALES

Saltbush Country Broken Hill

Event date: 8 May - 26 July 2026

Saltbush Country provides a rare opportunity for audiences across regional South Australia to experience the works and worldviews of Aboriginal women artists practising independently in the state. In this statewide touring exhibition, seven regional artists tell stories of their culture, community and connection to Country. Often personal and occasionally raw, their work reflects the world as seen through their eyes – a contemporary articulation of Aboriginal life in regional South Australia.

Saltbush Country, curated by Tarnanthi Regional Curator Marika Davies, was one of the highlight exhibitions of Tarnanthi 2023 when it was presented at Port Pirie Regional Art Gallery and in Adelaide at the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery at the Hawke Centre, UniSA City West campus.

Artists: Josephine Lennon, Marli Macumba, Juanella McKenzie, Deanna Newchurch, Lynette Newchurch, Sandra Saunders, Heather Shearer

The artists’ works are the result of a series of community workshops, mentoring and professional development opportunities catering for prominent regional artists and supported by Country Arts SA and Tarnanthi.

This former gold mining town was first settled in the mid-1850s and was originally known as ‘New Bendigo Goldfield’ before being renamed St Arnaud in honour of the commander of the French Forces in the Crimean War – Jaques Leroy de St Arnaud, Marshal of France. Many of the streets are also named after British military leaders involved in the same war.St Arnaud Caravan Park is the ideal location to stop while you explore this unique town; close to the town centre with all facilities provided, including potable water.
