The smokers have taken the gold

BETTY CHURCHER, a former director of the National Gallery of Australia, had this to say when she launched The smokers have taken the gold :

“In this film there is a wonderful shot of JOHN WOLSELEY talking about the diversity of Australia’s flora as he is crawling around through these lovely little desert shrubs pointing out how wonderfully different each one is to the other. This is a wonderful film that will get you right into the mind, eye and heart of an artist”.
