My husband and I spent last week at a campsite in Wye River along the famous Great Ocean Road in Australia. I am uploading some photos taken last week and a few drawings.
Watery Wednesday: a watery photo to start…

Trees and sky reflected by a meandering stream
There was not much to do but to enjoy nature…
Breathe the fresh air under a big sky.
This was home for a week (pictured left).
We enjoyed the simplicity of life here… We didn’t need much – just a tent over our heads, air mattresses and sleeping bags.
I spent most of my time drawing, taking photos, reading and studying Japanese. Here are a few friends we met…
Ever seen a sheep with dreadlocks? He and his friend ate all day in their special area in the campsite, with long long grass.
Koala having a snooze. Koalas are noisy at night. The noises are like snoring; only many times louder.
A baby… Look Ma, no hands. I am not sure how it stays up there and not roll off the branch.
There was a lovely food store/cafe nearby and we ate there often. It’s spring time in Australia but it was cold last week. There was a fireplace in the cafe and piles of wood.
This is a locally made pear cider which I enjoyed very much… I haven’t seen it anywhere else, but I will look out for it.
There was beer on tap too, but it was pear cider for me every time we were there. The atmosphere was not so jolly, but rather quiet. :)
Hope you are having a nice week. More photos and drawings in the coming posts.

I am really enjoying this trip from the comfort of home. Beautiful country and as usual, beautiful photographs and sketches. The tent would be out for us. It looks a little small for my Honey who still has claustrophobic nightmares of being caught in his sleeping bag when on bivouac in the army.
what a lovely place to camp. i love your watery images.
The baby koala is so cute! Nice picctures of the landscape :)

Who can resist an image of a cute koala?!
I really like your drawings. I often wish I could just sit at a cafe and draw my surroundings.
Thanks for sharing Evelyn - looks like you were having a good time
