SUMMARY:Illuminate '25 - annual Photo Group exhibition

Additional copies of some works can be ordered\, and other items for sale include unframed prints\, greeting cards\, and specialty calendars by individual members. The exhibition is in the Visitor Centre Gallery\, open daily from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm.
