Burra Regional Art Gallery
A year of exhibitions in the 1860 telegraph office.
Burra's volunteer-run regional gallery mounts a dozen exhibitions a year in the restored 1860 Post and Telegraph Office — the building that flashed news of Stuart's crossing in 1862.
Burra's art gallery occupies one of the town's most storied buildings: the restored 1860 Post and Telegraph Office on Market Street, from which news was telegraphed in December 1862 that John McDouall Stuart had successfully crossed the continent from south to north.
Today the rooms hold the Burra Regional Art Gallery, a volunteer-run institution with a calendar of around 12 exhibitions a year — group and solo shows by regional artists, major touring exhibitions, competitions and workshops — alongside its permanent collections and a sculpture garden.
It adds a contemporary thread to a heritage day in Burra, a few steps from the Market Square Museum and the other sites unlocked by the Burra Heritage Passport.
