From Hancocks Lookout South Australia

thankyou Hilary,I have to re photo this sometime as it’s a small format but atm it’s too wet here.[I have to take the paintings outside in the bright light]

thanks Shirley,make sure you have a warm sleeping bag!

thanks Jo,sounds like fun.

thank you so much Gary.

oh thanks Susan.

thanks Enivea ((())) I reckon I have a bit of swaggy in me, I would like to stay at some places for a few months, I used to be good a chopping wood too..

thanks you robin appreciate your comments so much.

thanks katkuzuma.

thanks so much Pat it just sits hidden away as it’s too large to frame and show. I get carried away, love painting large.

thanks Joolee nice to have your comment.

thanks you Holly I love your works and statement, oh fun creating.

thanks Lyn, well it’s rather cheap…when we arrived at King’s Canyon Resort we asked if they had a room only one left at $300 a night and that was only one of the cheaper rooms, so we went to the camp [$20 ] but it was fabulous anyway.

thanks gill, sorry to come back but we had a dog being sat and the sitter was getting …well, bored…

gee Wendy thanks! well as you would expect the bed felt too soft,it’s just a matter of which rock is where. I did like my own toilet though

I wished I had a digital [before digital] or even a proper camera with a zoom , I took a few for a slide /transparency film too but I hadn’t used it before [it’ s a 1965 model] and I didn’t roll the film around I find a sketch and notes much better. Most of the notes for this though says freezing cold ,windy no just looked… I’ll type out what I wrote…Freezing cold at the top. Gale force winds blowing across very steep hills view over the Spencer Gulf for …H.ds kils
ooh must check, which ones are there,I have written green parrots.

well not as far for you to go there Jak! don’t whiz past and miss the road though, just a dirt road on the way through to P.Augusta

thanks rosalie

thanks Stephanie .

thanks Rhonda/

thanks so much Helene. How are you getting on re tee shirts? I wrote out a tutorial for Estelle but we all seem to have different programs and sort of work it out our own way how to do.

thanks Caroline sometimes I get muddled! so I draw a little sun up the top somewhere![ like a kids drawing, then paint over it later

thanks so much shallay. In my sketch I have a gum tree right in the foreground ,so there must be one, it is on the left of this. there were or still are? some magnifient gums up the track I took some photos and I did paint one,for fun [I could add a thumb nail here as it’s too small a pic file to upload on rb]

thanks so much Jewel . love your work hope to get back and comment. (()))

thank you abdelaziz really lovely comment. much appreciated .

thank you Carole, wonderful comment.

many many thanks Kathie for you fabulous support you make being here putting up pics really worth while.

um funny, when we were at Kings Canyon I got the wind up thinking a dingo might nibble my feet and was lying there sort of not sleeping, and I spotted what I thought was a striped snake near me it turned out it was my husbands rubber thongs which had a black stripe aroung them, I panicked a bit!
one thing strange, no matter where you stop to sleep, people in another car will come along and pull up just about right on top of you and settle down then another, and another and before you know your feel like the whole of aus is there. It happened so often . I think people must have felt safer with company.

ooh thanks sooz …

thank you Catherine I’m sorry I didn’t notice your lovely comment before !!
