Thorungulla Studio

Thorungulla Studio @ Fagans Vale

Thorungulla Studio is set in the Nandewar Range Looking over Mt Lindsay and Mt Kaputar.

Set in over 200ha of hills and valleys scattered with gum, iron bark and box trees. Wallabies, kangaroo, goats and deer roam the hills.

Karin is a muralist who has created a series of murals to enhance the surrounds. Drought arrived when we did and a constantly blooming rose garden that needs no water has appeal.

Karin works in acrylics depicting the beauty of the Australian bush that surrounds her. Sand paintings, pottery, terracotta sculptures, and poetry are also on the menu. The designing and creating of string theory stories is a labour of love.

Karin worked with a team in Lightning Ridge to create the aboriginal dreaming stories that were displayed at the MCA in 2015. Community murals where Karrin is the designer and the community are the artists. Participants learn colour techniques, perspective, and working as a team.

Plein Air art classes can be arranged by appointment.

Karin’s work is on display at the Claypan/Fuller Gallery in Barraba and the Gallery on Gwydir in Bingara.

Roxy Theatre, Cafe and Museum

Roxy Theatre, Cafe and Museum

The Roxy Theatre is situated in the main street of Bingara, a striking building with a history as colourful as its painted exterior. Built in 1936 by three Greeks, it operated as a cinema until 1958, after which it was closed and lay dormant and untouched for forty years.

In May 2004, The Roxy was faithfully restored to its original splendour and was re-opened to the public. The theatre embraces some of the most striking original art deco architecture in New South Wales and it still contains the original fixtures and fittings, including the ornate stucco plaster, paintwork
and coloured lights from 1936.

Today, The Roxy functions as both a multi purpose cinema and regional centre for the performing arts, with The North West Theatre Company taking residence there. The quality and standard of the performances and events, make any visit worth while.

The Roxy also has the capacity to act as a function centre for a wide variety of activities and events, ranging from birthdays and weddings to regional conferences and seminars. It is able to cater for groups ranging from 20 to 400 and is able to provide audio visual and data projection equipment. Seeing the Roxy in its full theatrical splendor is unforgettable.
