🌸 The Narrabri Shire would have to have some of the most generous businesses and individuals 🌸

THANK YOU to our major sponsors to keeping dpilnarrabrishire going for our local children and THANK YOU to all of those that contributed to Harvest Moon in some way - from donating your business items, to donating gifts for our raffles and auctions. And finally a big THANK YOU to everyone that purchased tickets to our event, bought raffle tickets or dug deep and spent big on our auction items.

You deserve the biggest praise for your kindness and generosity.

We look forward to keeping everyone up-to-date with the program as the years go!

Our Harvest Moon fundraiser raised an incredible $25,000 for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Narrabri Shire!

Every contribution, big or small, helps make a difference to families in our community and supports the wonderful opportunity for children to participate in this groundbreaking program that has proven to have significant impact in preventing early literacy gaps. Currently Narrabri Shire falls in the lowest 25th percentile for literacy in NSW and we are striving to improve this statistic and work towards a bright future.

Thank you to everyone who donated, attended, volunteered and supported Harvest Moon. You’re helping give local children a brighter start, one book at a time. ❤️

“Stargazing”
The Narrabri Portrait Prize Finalist 2026

This painting is not just a portrait of my Daughter, it’s a snapshot of a time. It’s Ebony in a moment in her life just before she became a big sister, before her entire world changed.

I really enjoyed the process of painting this one, because I was heavily pregnant and short on time I was able to be much more free with the paint. It was what I needed in that moment of my life.

The brief was to paint a local legend. Even though Ebbie is only two years old, but she has already become part of the community. She has helped fundraise for the dpilnarrabrishire, she is a regular in the local arts community and been to many art exhibitions. I have no doubt that Ebony will go far.

I’m so proud to be her Mum. I get to watch her grow and explore her world, to watch her grow and be confident in herself. I will always continue to create her portraits 🤍

People’s choice voting is now open
