Beaver Lennon
Artist Beaver Lennon painting at the Ceduna Aboriginal Art and Culture Centre. The photographer describes the Centre, "The Ceduna Arts and Cultural Centre is Aboriginal owned and sells artwork on behalf of all artists involved. All profits from the centre go back into buying materials and developing new skills to ensure the continued running and upkeep of the centre. The way in which the business is presented and operated is innovative and has encouraged Indigenous participation not only in the arts, but also in the operation of a small business. It also provides a source of income for artists and a level of economic independence. On the several occasions that I visited the centre I was able to move freely among the artists as they did their art work. I found it fascinating to watch Denise painting with a tube of paint in one hand while she used a stick in the other hand to squash the paint down to make the patterns of the death adders. She didn't sketch the work first but just created it straight from her mind. Whilst in Stringy Bay I had been told to look out for an up-and-coming artist by the name of Beaver Lennon, who was making a name for himself in the Indigenous art world. Over a period of two weeks I dropped into Beaver's studio as he went about creating his latest work to be entered into this years Telstra Awards. He is a very shy person, with an amazing gift for creating beautiful art work. I also recorded a number of ladies around a table doing an adult education programme in multi-literacy, which enables them to work with modern technology to produce and promote their art works."

In 1848 the first bishop of Adelaide Augustus Short arrived in the colony with his Archdeacon Mathew Hale. They set out to educate the Aboriginal people in Christian values.

The centre became a close knit community and many Poonindie men became very good shearers, ploughmen and stockmen, also good cricketers.
