Story PolesPrint Page 
This public art piece celebrates the region’s traditional community and the strong links between TAFE, the Broken Hill City Council and the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery.
As our celebration for NAIDOC week continues, we are able to share these Story Poles captured by our YRG, outside of the Regional Art Gallery.
