This exhibition celebrates our urban birdlife.With more than 80% of Australia's population living in cities- it might not feel like there's much room for nature. But a stroll through any Australian city proves there's no need to go bush to get in touch with wildlife.  However- with rapid urbanisation- they face a great challenge.  Many Australian bird species are declining in urban areas and declining overall.Its more important than ever to research- protect and provide education on the urban birds that surround us. Now more than ever- on behalf of the living world- we need to feel like we belong here- on the planet. That this is our home- but it is not ours alone.This exhibition is curated especially for BirdLife Australia Bird Week featuring works by printmaker Fiona Roderick- designers Eggpicnic and photographer Angela Robertson-Buchanan.This is a Covid safe exhibition. To comply there will be a limit of 8 in the gallery at one time. We will be on-hand to ensure social distancing within the gallery. There will be hand sanitiser available at the entrance.
