Reflections - Life at the Lake House

Immerse yourself in the evocative world of Lake Innes House, once the grand residence of Major Archibald Innes and now a treasured ruin.

This captivating exhibition weaves together artworks, archives and personal objects to bring to life the rhythms of the lake house.

At the heart of the exhibition are the intimate journals and diary entries of Annabella Boswell, whose vivid accounts reveal a deep connection to the surrounding waters. From the serene beauty of swimming in the ocean and the soothing sound of the nearby surf, to the expansive views from the Lake House tower.

Narratives are brought to life through a unique blend of personal archives, historical objects, and contemporary artworks that invite reflection on the enduring relationship between people, place, and water.
