A few days away ...


Bendigo

Russell and I went away for a few days out to the country towns of Bendigo and Ballarat. I was interested in seeing an exhibition, "The Golden Age of Couture - Paris and London 1947-57," which was in it's final week at the Bendigo Art Gallery
. Being a guy, Russell left me to the exhibition while he explored the rest of the town! Beautiful clothing including a cape worn by Audrey Hepburn, a suit of Leslie Caron's and dresses of both Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. Amazing in their detailing!
The next day we went on to Ballarat and it's gallery with it's extensive Australian collection.
