Wheat Bags to Sand bags

‘Wheat bags to Sand bags’ depicts a snapshot in time in rural Australia at the outbreak of the First World War. This was a small but pivotal part of our nation’s history. Australia had only recently achieved nationhood in 1901 when its young men and women were called to service in 1914. At great personal and community cost, farmers and farm labourers from this district exchanged their wheat fields for the battlefields of Europe. This artwork is a tribute to them.
