Kaeru - Enchanted Garden

An unexpected discovery today was finding the Kaeru project at the Hamer Hall Arts Centre in Melbourne. It's a collaborative work involving a Japanese artist in residence (Hiroshi Fuji), Melbourne's Slow Art Collective and the people of Melbourne. A transient exhibition about renewal, transformation, sustainability and collaborative art.

If it hadn't been so wet I may well have sat in this tyre for a while, next to the little green frog......

I wonder whether this sort of creative project would work in a small Norfolk village..............



 

Today we went on a koala hunt....

and took the woodland walk through this beautiful landscape of banksia and gum trees on the east side of the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne.

We didn't find a koala up in these tall paperbark gum trees, but what a lovely place nevertheless.

We walked through the woodland, across an estuary,

to the coast (where a large sign warned pedestrians to be aware of large trucks!)

and back through woodland to the wetland area (where I sited my first black swans)

So I didn't find koalas, but what an amazing variety of landscapes in a one short hour's walk.

Thank you, Moira, for a lovely walk.

A Farmer's Market in Prague

One last post about Prague. We stumbled upon a farmer's market while going for a tram. I love the colours and richness - yummy!

Mouth watering....
