Acknowledgement of Country
We honour the many traditional nations within Australia and pay respect to our Aboriginal Elders past and present of nations surrounding Yengo Country and acknowledge their wisdom and guidance in protecting this important land
Little Yengo Gallery
The Aboriginal paintings and artefacts in this award winning gallery embody the meaning of Wollombi , ‘meeting place’. Artists, both local and from afar share tradition and continuous connections with country. As many of our artists live in remote areas of Australia, this not-for- profit gallery is run and maintained by community volunteers. Please come and enjoy our ever-changing works, the stories they tell and videos of local corroborees.
Aboriginal Arts and Culture

The Old Fireshed Gallery is situated behind the Wollombi Cultural Centre in the main street of Wollombi, and holds regular exhibitions throughout the year. To book the gallery for an exhibition or other cultural or arts related function, please contact artscouncil@wollombi.org

"Five Elements. Five Artists
Five artists working in very different mediums come together, connected by the forces of nature.
Five Elements – wood, metal, fire, earth, water – inspire artists Giles Tester, Kes Harper, Ross Fletcher, Sheree Roberts & Kylie Beynon to respond to the essence and energy of our natural environment through painting, sculpture and mixed media.
This is an exhibition not to be missed. The collective artworks will challenge the way you see the natural elements, discovering what makes our world so
amazing and beautiful!"
