The Pentland Gallery.

How long is it since you visited the Pentland Art Gallery? It is well worth a stop - or for that matter, just a trip out of town.
Tourists take a break there, have a snack and browse through the rooms. They are amazed at the variety of goods on display, "for such a small place." There are plenty of gift ideas for that last minute present you have trouble buying. Bags, pottery, painting and jewelry are a few of offerings.
The Gallery also offers a book swapping service, a selection of pre loved clothing and stacks of magazines where you will probably find that article you wanted to keep but threw out in a cleaning frenzy.

Historically Speaking


The Gallery has a museum room where donated artifacts will jog many memories of objects once familiar, now almost forgotten. Wandering through the grounds of the old butchery you find reminders from yester- year and the old jail has an atmosphere all its own.

Dear Editor, I like being able to 'see' across the world and visit Torrens Creek. Thank you for taking up this work. There need to be more such instruments of communication.

Re the fake e-mail about the lost boy - your readers would be well advised to just delete any e-mail they get asking them to send it on to 'EVERYONE IN THEIR ADDRESS BOOK.' That's a tip off, right there, that all the sender wants is the power of slowing down the Internet.

And, too bad about the seemingly paranoid person who doesn't want the area around the town photographed or written about. I can't imagine why, and it only make me, the general reader, wonder what it is he's hiding.

Enjoyed my visit to Torrens Creek and will be back.
