Launceston's Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery is one of the finest in regional Australia. This is not surprising since the city is the third oldest in Australia. Its collection is so extensive it is located on two separate campuses.
In these three shots today I will show you the Invermay campus, where the scientific and historical displays can be found. We have previously explored some of the works in the Queen Victoria Art Gallery, but there will be plenty more to see next year when the refurbished gallery reopens.
This composition is about the wonder of flight. You will obviously spot the Bleriot XI from 1909 - a replica of one the most important early aircraft (the first to fly over the English Channel). Monochrome seemed to be a logical choice here. As you lower your eyes you will see a range of Tasmanian birds on display. These are the creatures that inspired us to reach for the skies.
