Lazy Days in Wagga Wagga
Step back to summer’s past with a selection of hand-coloured photographs
About the Exhibition
“The heat was excessive. Every window and door were open, and the balmy, almost imperceptible, zephyrs which faintly rustled the curtains and kissed our perspiration-beaded brows were rich with many scents from the wide old flower-garden, which, despite the drought, brought forth a wealth of blossom.” - Miles Franklin, My Brilliant Career, 1901
Lazy Days in Wagga Wagga presents a curated collection of photographs taken over a century of summers in our wonderful city.
Discover how locals and visitors spent their leisure time keeping cool, whether relaxing in the shade of a willow or by taking a plunge in the Murrumbidgee.
Experience everyday Aussies enjoying picnics, games, dancing and larking around, with each photo brought to life through the addition of colour.
