"Cockies V" by Russell Morrison

The South Australian Living Artists Festival (SALA) is a celebration that promotes the diversity of visual art across South Australia and is on again this year from  7 - 23 August. Visitors to the mid north will have a chance to see some wonderful exhibitions right across the region, with 120 artists exhibiting in over 40 venues.  Gaslight will be hosting "Painting Goyder's Line", a new exhibition by Burra born artist Russell Morrison. You will have the opportunity to meet Russell and hear about his work at a "Meet the Artist"event  on Saturday 16th August.  More information about this as we get closer to the date.

Happy birthday Bob!


It would appear from this early photo, taken at Redbanks, that coffee was not always Bob's drink of choice! Happy Birthday Bob and have a lovely day on Sunday xxx

This week many of our customers have been lucky enough to be served by the newest and most engaging member of the Gaslight team.  Ruby - seen here assisting Jill at the counter - has been visiting Burra with her lovely mother. Ruby has been spending time in the shop in between naps and visiting the ducks.  She was particularly pleased to see her old friends Olive and Lois and took time to catch up with all the local news.

Just arrived at Gaslight, this first edition copy of Thomas Keneally's "Schindler's Ark" ($40).  What an inspirational story.
