Drivers College is a non-profit entity whose ethos is “to save lives on our roads through early intervention education”. A purpose-built driver education complex has been constructed in Bundaberg Queensland; its purpose is to provide a safe off-road area for learner driver education. Volunteers wanted to help teach learner drives on their controlled environment driver training complex.

We all have a story to tell. It’s just a matter of finding it. White Rabbit Theatre, the company behind Ainslee Palmer’s powerhouse one-woman show, READY OR NOT, offers a play-based storytelling workshop for artists of all experiences (or no experience). Participants will get a taste of White Rabbit’s processes, transforming personal experiences into creative narratives through games and play. Delivered over two hours, this complimentary workshop (to 'Ready or Not' - held on 22 and 23rd November) is open to participants aged 16 and over. It is for anyone interested in writing, theatre making or for anyone who may have a story they wish to tell.

My Bothways Identity – Dr Pamela Croft Dr Pamela Croft is a Kooma clan Euahlayi Nation descendent, the Wiradhuric dialect Yuwaalaraay language, from Southwest Queensland Australia. Dr Croft has practised as an independent visual artist since the mid-eighties, producing artworks that reflect her lived experience, guided by her Aboriginality and training in both Aboriginal and Western traditional art forms. As an artist she is often described as a bricoluer, creating conceptual installations and visual narratives that are constructs of a land-centred, Bothways philosophy to create alternative story sites for identity and displacement, histories, sense of place and the effects of colonisation. In My Bothways Identity, Dr Croft reimagines one of her earlier installations, encompassing works on paper, sculptural assemblage, found objects, pigment, plant dyes and fibre. 'Through my work, I am committed to an educational and social transformation that empowers the inherent strength of Australia's people and cultures. I tell stories highlighting similarities and differences. The challenge is to embrace those differences rather than reject them. I ask people to truly listen and absorb in order to move to a place of understanding of our world'. In 2003, Dr Croft was the first Aboriginal person to gain a Doctor of Visual Arts, and since then has exhibited extensively throughout Australia and overseas in solo, group and collaborative projects. Now retired from academia, Dr Croft lives and works from her Bundaberg studio on the lands of the Gooreng Gooreng, Taribelang Bunda, Gurang, and Bailai peoples. Exhibition Opening Event Friday 13 September at 5.30 pm Gallery Opening Times Weekdays: 9.30 am to 5 pm Weekends: 10 am to 2 pm
