Photographic Exhibition Living With The River
“Living with the River” Photographic Exhibition at the Hawkesbury Central Library in Windsor, open from April 15th to September 30th.
Explore the power, beauty and the rich stories of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River, also known as the Dyarubbin, through the lens of our community.
Hawkesbury Central Library, Windsor has just opened a new photography display Living with the River. This captivating exhibition features a selection of images from the NSW Reconstruction Authority’s Living with the River competition, which invited local residents to capture what the river means to them.
From the tranquil scenes of kayakers gliding through the water to the majestic bridges spanning the river and the diverse wildlife co-existing with us in nature, each photo tells a unique story and celebrates the community’s deep connection with the river. The exhibition includes images from Wallacia to Brooklyn, highlighting its changing face, the wide range of ways people experience the River and the challenges of living on a floodplain.
The photo competition and exhibition are a key part of the Reconstruction Authority’s work to raise flood risk awareness, promote emergency preparedness, and gather community input for the Hawkesbury Nepean Valley Disaster Adaptation Plan (HNV DAP). By bringing together a collection of images that captures the beauty, challenges, and everyday interactions with the river, we see how the community values and engages with this vital waterway.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the heart of our community and the lifeblood of our region.
