Description One hundred and eleven years ago, relatives of My Darling Patricia's Clare Britton were murdered by an Aboriginal Bushranger, Jimmy Governor, on a property in the Hunter Valley. Taking its name from the ruins of the house where Clare's relatives died, Posts in the Paddock is a major new performance and installation. Combining sculpture, animation, puppetry, performance and oral histories, Posts in the Paddock is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists - that explores this moment in history from multiple perspectives.
