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 and February. If you would like to exhibit here please contact me.
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.

CURRENT EXHIBITION
"With a Beady Eye and a Glassy Stare"
A Reflection on Bushfire and Recovery
By Elizabeth Blakeman
Sunday May 5th to 1st June 2024
This is an exhibition of conceptual art using 8mm glass beads in tapestries and 3D format.
Elizabeth first learnt to weave with beads on a loom in Africa when she was 7 years old, and over the next 75 years has developed her interest and skills.
This exhibition is a reflection on the Black Summer Bushfire of 2019/20 and its impact on their farm - the embers, burnt trees; the smoke, the fear, the loss, .....and the recovery...... the rain, new growth, new life, generosity, hope....

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.
