I had time to branch to the Museum s and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory and on exhibition was the 25th Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award. Lots of very interesting aboriginal paintings, bark paintings and three dimensionals. I was mostly impressed by a work by Suzy Evans called 'Bengerang'. Her own words describe it best: "Most signposts came to me after seeing the Sidney Nolan exhibition and after the apology. There are 57 aboriginal people and 1 Ned Kelly. A community infiltrated by outlaws".
