'emily:explorer'
by gemma lynch-memory
In 1883 and at only 22 years of age Emily Caroline Creaghe
became the first female to explore the Australian outback.
In 2007 artist Gemma Lynch-Memory found a copy of Emily's
expedition diary in a second hand book shop and retraced
her epic journey as research for this series of paintings.
This is their story...
