First Australians Focus Gallery

The lives of the Aboriginal people of Central Australia have changed enormously during the last 30 years.

In response to the many requests for images from its constituents and to celebrate its 30th birthday, the Central Land Council in Alice Springs has created this photographic exhibition featuring some of the highlights from the council's archival collection.

The tour of Our Land is Alive is managed by Artback NT Arts Touring. This project has been assisted by the Commonwealth Government through the Australia Council, its Arts funding body. The exhibition is produced by the Central Land Council and curated and designed by Pam Lofts.

Admission is free.
