University Chair
A gift from the Wagga Wagga City Council
The University chairs used for ceremonial occasions, including graduations, and investitures, held in Australia were designed by Mr David Upfill-Brown who is also the creator of well known pieces of ceremonial furniture including the Speaker's chair in the House of Representatives in the Federal Parliament of Australia in Canberra. He also developed the concept and crafted the three ceremonial chairs which complement the University Lectern, from Tasmanian Blackwood. The Chancellor's chair is embellished with a carved representation of the Sturt Desert Pea which is also incorporated into the finials of the backrest.
