Walk to the West
An exhibition of rarely seen nineteenth-century West Coast wilderness art, presented at Soggy Brolly and The Galley Museum in Queenstown Tasmania.
In 1887, artist W.C. Piguenit joined a government survey party on a demanding trek from Lake St Clair to Macquarie Harbour. The wild rivers, rugged peaks and button grass plains they crossed inspired some of his most dramatic sketches and later studio paintings. Walk to the West features high-quality reproductions from this journey, shown alongside works by fellow nineteenth-century artists Simpkinson de Wesselow and Louisa Anne Meredith.
You are warmly invited to the official opening:
- 5pm–7pm, Friday 6 March 2026
- Soggy Brolly | 20 Orr Street | Queenstown, Tasmania
- The exhibition continues until 10 April at Soggy Brolly and The Galley Museum.
Walk to the West is part of the Royal Society of Tasmania Hidden Treasures Art series.
Proudly supported by AusIMM – Tasmania Branch.
