Too much concentration is no good for a girl
Gunnedah Silo Art的点评
点评：It's part of the Australian story...
"I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!"
The writer, Isobel Marion Dorothea MacKellar was born in 1885. Her parents were Doctor (later Sir) Charles Kinnaird MacKellar and his wife, Marion. Dorothea taught herself to read by age 4. She attended Sydney University but didn't sit for an exam because her father believed, " too much concentration is no good for a girl".
With her father's forward thinking behind her... she was set to excel. (Yes, that WAS sarcasm). Dorothea found the English attitude of Australia being second rate to England was irritating. When visiting England in 1904, this is when she wrote the iconic poem known as My Country. It was published four years later in The Spectator.
Here in Gunnedah they celebrate Dorothea's work, by Australian standards... we may even consider it her best work It echos how many of us feel about our country.
The artist for this is Heesco... for many of us that seek out these silo arts and works, he is a well-known name. For me, I will never forget the time in Yarram where I was admiring one of his works saying how wonderful it would be to meet the artist - he overheard my comment and walked around the corner to say hello.

翻译：这是澳大利亚故事的一部分……
“我爱这片阳光灿烂的土地，
一片平原辽阔的土地，
一片山脉起伏的土地，
一片干旱与暴雨交织的土地。
我爱她遥远的地平线，
我爱她宝石般的大海，
她的美丽与她的恐怖——
这片广阔的棕色土地，属于我！”
作家伊莎贝尔·玛丽安·多萝西娅·麦克凯勒出生于1885年。她的父母是查尔斯·金奈尔德·麦克凯勒博士（后封为爵士）和他的妻子玛丽安。多萝西娅四岁时自学读书。她就读于悉尼大学，但没有参加考试，因为她的父亲认为“过于专注对女孩没有好处”。
在父亲的前瞻性思维的支持下……她注定会出类拔萃。（是的，这的确是讽刺。）多萝西娅觉得英国人认为澳大利亚比英国低一等的态度很令人恼火。 1904年访问英国时，她写下了标志性的诗歌《我的祖国》。四年后，这首诗发表在《旁观者》杂志上。
在冈尼达，人们以澳大利亚的标准来赞美多萝西娅的作品……我们甚至认为这是她最好的作品。它呼应了我们许多人对祖国的感受。
这幅画的艺术家是Heesco……对于我们这些追寻这些独立艺术和作品的人来说，他是一个家喻户晓的名字。对我来说，我永远不会忘记在亚拉姆欣赏他的一件作品时的情景，当时我正说着如果能见到这位艺术家就太好了——他听到了我的评论，走过拐角过来打招呼。
