LEMON HILL GALLERY WELCOMES YOU
Celebrating creativity, resourcefulness and the human spirit
ABOUT THE GALLERY
Lemon Hill Gallery is a small gallery in a shipping container on a farm in East Gippsland. It is approached off the bitumen, on a gravel road!
Our address: 158 Lemon Hill Rd, Wairewa. Victoria.
There is no charge for visiting, or for exhibiting in the gallery and there is no commission on a sale. Sales take place between the artist and the buyer.
The container was donated after the 2019/20 bush fires and the gallery is
situated on the site of the burnt shed with a 360 degree view of the Wairewa valley and the state forest.
Exhibitions change every 4 weeks and the Gallery is closed in January, February and August.
The first exhibition "Christmas in a Container" by Merilyn Flynn was featured on ABC TV at Christmas time 2020.
Darren Chester, Federal Member for Gippsland, visited in November 2021

OPENING HOURS
Come Visit
The gallery is open on Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm when a cup of tea or coffee and lemon slice (usually!) will be available.
It can be viewed at other times by arrangement. Night viewing has a certain charm. The night is black and the lights are dramatic on a farm far from street lights.

"Fibres, Threads and Textiles:
Shaping the Discarded"
By
Gail Rossi
​
​
​ Gail Rossi has been creating with textiles, yarns and threads since her early teens and spent some years up-cycling plain garments into unique fashions for her market space, all with a good degree of success. More recently she was introduced to weaving with plant fibre, and began a shift from functional creativity to self-expressive art.
She has always had an inherent distaste for waste and has preferred to repair rather than discard whenever possible and this has continued to be her approach in using plant fibre from her own garden and fibres and threads collected over decades, rather than buying anything new.
This has resulted in an exhibition where rhubarb, arum lily and jasmine vine is featured as often as cotton thread and fabric strips - indeed, perhaps even more so and the titles of her interesting and unique work range from "Rhubarb Pie" to "Elegance". .... quite a range of concepts!
​
Live music by the Saxy beats will feature at the opening, as usual. It is worth noting that the sax player, Bernie, is Gail's brother!
Tea, or coffee and lemon slice will be served as usual.
All welcome.

DIRECTIONS
Please note that your GPS may direct you a long rough way to get here and our private drive is often incorrectly labelled as Five Mile Road. I have complained to Google Maps twice but to no avail.
From Lakes Entrance drive east to Nowa Nowa and continue on Princes Hwy for 6kms. Turn left into the bitumen Wairewa Rd which is well marked. Drive 6km. Turn left at the CFA shed into Trevaskis Rd. Dirt road. Drive 250 m. Turn right into Lemon Hill Rd. Stay on this for 1.5 km. Our gate is the only one on the right and well marked.
