- Biography/History:
-
Howard William Steer (1947-), born in and still resident of Broken Hill, is a still-active artist, illustrator and author, whose artistic style is classified as naive realism, and which he calls "story art".
St Patrick's Race Club, Broken Hill, was formed to help alleviate the desperate financial position of the local Catholic schools, and the inaugural race meeting was held on Saturday 19 March 1966. The event has grown to become the richest 'one day country race meeting' in Australia. (from the St Patrick's Race Club website http://stpatricks.org.au ).
