Art and Crafts Around the Scenic Rim
The Scenic Rim has a long and rich history in arts and culture, dating back to its pioneers. Filmmaker Charles Chauvel and poet Judith Wright spent time in the Scenic Rim and both said they were inspired by the region’s natural beauty. They laid the foundations for a thriving arts and cultural movement which stretches across the region.
