The Momentum of Light show will run until 15 December.<\/p>\n

“We’re proud to host a stunning new exhibition by local photographer John Rawson, showcasing breathtaking snapshots of Australia’s various flora and fauna,” the winery’s David Masin said.<\/p>\n

“His work is incredible and a testament to his passion for the beauty of this country and its unique wildlife.<\/p>\n

“John has also put together his limited edition 2026 calendar featuring some of his best work, available for purchase at cellar door now.”<\/p>\n

The exhibition is Rawson’s first solo exhibition since 1975.<\/p>\n
