Heather Hale

President, Longreach Arts & Cultural Association Inc

Heather’s art and culture journey began in earnest in 1981 when she became involved with the then Longreach Cultural Association, learned to spin and pot, and soon became a spinning tutor as well as teaching pottery to children. This has led to involvement with many sectors of the Longreach community including the Longreach Cultural Association, and the Longreach Arts Council, which amalgamated to became Longreach Arts and Cultural Association in 2013. She is the 2021 President of the Association. From 2006 through to 2013 Heather represented the North West Region as a board member of the Queensland Arts Council/ Arts Link Queensland. For 11 years Heather was a business partner in, and an actor/presenter at Banjo’s Outback Theatre and Wool Shed. Now a content maker and presenter for ABC Western Queensland, she loves to bring to radio audiences the stories and passions of other people.
