A painting donated to Wondai Garden Club by South Burnett artist Robyn Dower has been presented to the Wondai Diggers Club as “it would have been a sacrilege to raffle it”.
Robyn’s portrait of a World War I Australian Light Horsemen formed the heart of an Anzac Centenary display mounted by the garden club at the Autumn Garden Expo in Wondai in April.
Wondai & District Garden Club president Peter Biltoft said handing over the painting to the Wondai Diggers was the highlight of his time as president.
He said it would have been sacrilege to have raffled the painting, and it deserved to be on display where people could appreciate it.
Diggers Club director Wally Knight accepted the painting which he said was “absolutely beautiful”.
