A project to develop an Indigenous arts hub and travelling workshop programmes in remote central west Queensland has received a $1.4 million grant from the federal government.
The Central West Aboriginal Corporation wants to create an arts, culture and language revival centre at Barcaldine, a small town more than 500 kilometres from Rockhampton.
