Artwork, other - Public Artwork, Julia Eileen Gillard (Prime Ministers Walk) by Peter Nicholson
Julia Eileen Gillard, Australia's 27th Prime Minister, on 24 June 2010 Julia Gillard became Prime Minister and the first woman to hold the office. She was elected unopposed by the Parliamentary Labor Party. The Prime Ministers walk at Ballarat Botanical Gardens has over time created a special and unique understanding of our Prime Ministers and the strength of belief, passion and understanding we had for these leaders. The different styles used reflect the times and the techniques used to undertake these portraits of leaders makes us consider those elements of official portraiture, including textures, sizes and features and proportions used by some of the artists. The artwork is of aesthetic and historic significance to the people of BallaratBronze bust cast on granite and concrete plinth.Julia Eileen Gillard Prime Minister 2010 - 2013prime minister, australian pm
