This amazing and beautiful metal work created in 2008 depicting Mount Gillen in the landscape by artist Dan Murphy, is made from metal and twitching wire.
Part of the Araluen Art Collection, it was kindly donated by the Friends of Araluen in 2014 to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the opening of the Araluen Arts Centre.
