Welcome
to the Neville Owen Gallery page.
Neville
Owen's photographs detail many individuals and events in the Coonamble and
surrounding areas over a forty year period. The collection includes
buildings, properties, industries, transport, health, religion, sport, leisure
and community organisations.
The
collection contains images of civic events between 1970 and 2009 including
Anzac marches, sporting events, weddings, school plays and debutant balls in
Walgett, Goodooga, Lightning Ridge, Gulargambone, Baradine and Coonamble.
It
is unique in recording the life of the region's inhabitants in towns, villages
and on properties, at work and play.
Around
850 photographs are presented on this page, representing a small portion of
Neville's collection. Council will continue to build on the
collection allowing community members to enjoy the unique visual history of
Coonamble Shire and surrounds.
Coonamble
Shire Council is honoured to present Neville Owen's life work.
