Part one of a somewhat belated two-part post.
On the first day of winter, Saturday June 1, a record-breaking number of over 65,000 people came from far and near to experience the magic of White Night Ballarat. That’s me directly above, far left, soaking it all in. (Photo credit: Shane Jones).
It was a joy to see the city pulsating with renewed life and energy, despite Ballarat’s infamous bone-chilling weather and the occasional sprinkle of rain - another of Ballarat’s specialties - none of which, thankfully, degenerated into a serious downpour.
The two projections of my works, collectively titled Decorated Women, were side by side on opposite corners of Sturt and Lydiard Streets.
Pictured above:

The Moth and Insect Women were projected onto the former National Mutual Building, one of my favourite local buildings.
