Photo exhibition

Patonga resident Dawne Fahey will be holding an exhibition of photo art at the Gosford Regional Art Gallery from June 30.

The exhibition "Out of Lightning Ridge" is a collection of photo art by Dawne Fahey from images taken on a recent visit to Lightning Ridge and the Sheepyard Opal Fields.

"The aim of the exhibition is to bring The Outback to people who live and visit the Central Coast," Ms Fahey said.

Ms Fahey said the images "invite you to visit this delightful part of NSW to see its timeless landscapes and the endearing characters who live there".

The exhibition will be held at studio 1, Gosford Regional Art Gallery, with opening night to be held on Friday June 30, at 7pm.

It will then be open to the public daily, 10.30am to 4pm, from July 1 to 16.

Ms Fahey said entry is free, but a gold coin donation at the door would be appreciated.

Anyone wanting to attend the opening night should contact Ms Fahey at dawne@dawnefahey.com as soon as possible, to assist with catering.
