We've packed a lot into the last few days in Melbourne. We try to make the most of every opportunity - just because we can. Home Show was on in Melbourne so we just had to go. It's one of those things we usually see advertised and wish we lived close enough to be able to go. So we just had to do it..... interesting, but don't think I need to do it again.
Similarly with the exhibition of Graeme Base artwork from book, The Waterhole - we just had to go. It is spectacular. (State Library, Melbourne) There's so much in all his illustrations - such a talent! Browsing the book shop in the State Library we came across the book Go the F* to Sleep - hilarious. If you haven't heard of it - check it out on Google (after the kids have gone to bed!!). Sadly there weren't any of the fabulous Peter Carnavas picture books in the bookshop. Probably upstairs in their children's collection... one would hope.
Saturday, we went for a drive into the Dandenongs - in search of a gallery where Sophie has one of here textile art pieces. We found it ... and it certainly looks stunning hanging on the wall with other art-works- makes us feel very proud of her. She's very talented!! Check it out if you are near Olinda - Redgum Gallery. While you're there, try a pie from Pie in the Sky pie shop!!! YUMMM Just happened to find a village market and several interesting gift shops - all in all, another great day out!
Yes ... a few MORE things to fit into our bags. Getting our gear to Sydney is looking more difficult every day. And that's just part of it. We also have 3 LARGE bags in Sydney. OMG!!! It's going to be a challenge. Just as well we have left ourselves a few days in Sydney to repack and reduce!!

You left the part out about me knowing that my artwork was in a gallery, somewhere... But not really sure which town or even the name... (said gallery had moved and taken my work with the but I had misplaced the address...). Olinda was a stab in the dark - but a good guess!!!!
