From a scratchy archive recording, the legendary Australian artist Arthur Boyd can be heard describing: ‘I want to see acres of people … standing room only.’ He is talking about his hopes for Bundanon – his idyllic property on river’s edge at Shoalhaven, near Nowra on NSW’s south coast, which he and wife Yvonne gifted to the Australian people in 1993.
