Connections to Home is the first solo exhibition of carvings and paintings by revered Barkindji and Ngiyampaa Elder, Uncle Colin (Col) Clark.
This exhibition showcases fifty of Uncle Col’s crafted artworks, including spears, shields, clubs, tapping sticks, digging sticks, boomerangs, didgeridoos, painted emu eggs, bowls, and paintings created over the past 20 years.
Connections to Home demonstrates Uncle Col’s deep knowledge of wood and carving as a cultural practice that connects him to Country and home, but also to his Ancestors and the ongoing legacy expressed through his Marra or hands in Barkindji as he has been nicknamed.
The exhibition explores six overarching themes, developed by Uncle Col and his collaborators: Reading Country; The River is the lifesource; A growing family; Connecting to Ancestors; The wood tells me; and Healing and medicine.Coming Home is a compelling solo exhibition by Dr. Jenny Murray-Jones of up to 25 of her paintings from KHTs unique and importance Collections of Victorian First Peoples Art and Cultural belongings and recent works by Dr. Murray-Jones.
Murray-Jones is a Yorta Yorta and Baraparapa artist. Her work offers a poignant exploration of family reconnection, delving into themes of Country, Kinship, and the enduring impact of colonisation and institutional life.
Through her rich and emotive use of colour and texture, Murray-Jones captures both the beauty and complexity of her family’s journey.
Her works tell stories of resilience, loss, and the healing power of reconnecting with family and Country. Each piece invites viewers into the artist’s personal history, where moments of joy and pain are intertwined, reflecting the strength of her cultural identity and the deep connections that bind her to her Ancestors and Country.
This exhibition, which coincides with National Reconciliation Week 2025 (27 May-3 June) offers a unique opportunity to engage with Murray-Jones powerful depictions of the Stolen Generations and intimate family moments, bringing to life her personal narrative and cultural research in a deeply moving and thought-provoking way.

Best Things to Do

HelenWang

The next day&#39;s trip to Melbourne ～ The 100-year steam train sits in a semi-open carriage and the legs can be hung free outside the car to feel the breeze and fresh air in the mountains If you are hungry for a trip away from the hustle and bustle and return to nature This Melbourne 100-year steam train is absolutely amazing For not to miss it is not only a simple journey, but also an intimate dialogue with history and nature. There is a souvenir shop as soon as you enter the mouth. The refrigerator stickers inside are super nice. The children bought several, beautiful and inexpensive. Because the steam train is about an hour, it is best to go to the bathroom first after entering the exit. After entering the train, you have to sit on the right hand side of the train direction. Many net red photos are taken here. The view is very good. I feel free and comfortable when I sit on the train. Children like 😘

Night view

It is still beautiful to watch the sunset on the observation deck, but you have to go up earlier and occupy a favorable position, otherwise too many people can&#39;t see the sunset. The scenery of the red glow reflected in the surrounding high-rise buildings is also very popular.

There is not much to see. Compared with the big museums in China, the layout and design are backward. The part introducing Melbourne&#39;s history is not bad, and the introduction of Aboriginal history and culture is also quite distinctive. The commentary of the dinosaur story is quite vivid. In short, if you take your children there and have enough time, you can visit it.

SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium

The location of the Melbourne Aquarium is very good, just on the banks of the Yarra River in the city center, and most urban hotels can be reached. The aquarium is quite rich in variety, there are some interactive programs, and there are also supporting restaurants. It takes about 3 hours to finish shopping.
