Sketching at Point Lonsdale
from W
More pictures from yesterday's picnic at Point Lonsdale - half an hour's drive from Geelong. Other pics on babasiga. Point Lonsdale is a neat town (with huge prices for property) with gardens of mainly native plants so that the houses just seem to nestle into a green environment.
One pic is when we had our lunch near a children's playground before we went to the lighthouse and down to a narrow beach with a wild sea. I made drawings of rocks with two views - one looking towards the sea, the other towards another beach. I was sitting directly underneath the lighthouse. Peceli's view of the lighthouse from below is on our babasiga blog.

These are all lovely sketches Wendy. Very disappointing - what's happening in Fiji, though at least no violence so far, though intimidation is very unpleasant
Wow what a wonderful scene - I love seeing the ocean through the gap in the rocks. I am so sorry to hear about your friends in the police force - that was what my father's job was when we lived out there. This series of coups makes Fiji seem like such a tinpot nation, and if the chiefly tradition means anything at all, the chiefs should have used their voice to uphold and support democracy. Flawed democracy is still a superior sytem of government than well-oiled military dictatorship.
Thanks Alison and Julie.
Yes, I do find it intriguing when there is a view within a view - such as looking through a gap in rocks because you find new shapes.
Re Fiji - it's so sad. I expect that incompetence and corruption will replace earlier problems. It doesn't solve a situation. Bullying is always scary. Some of the shadowy figures are emerging now - it's Shakespearian almost - with jealousy, revenge, shame, cover-ups. Lady Macbeth stuff almost.
