Outings with my grandchildren always tend to be slow paced and include some sketching.
During the April school holidays I was able to enjoy some sketching at Sawtell’s Inlet with my 9 year old grandson who was finally able to visit from Auckland after 2 grinding years of closed borders due to Covid.
The tiny fishing village of Tooradin, 57km south east of the Melbourne central business district sits at this inlet and is a quiet relaxing spot because tourists usually bypass this unpretentious township on their way to the popular holiday destinations further south on the Mornington Peninsular.
There's lots to see and sketch at Tooradin – mangroves, mudflats, crabs, pelicans and giant fish heads left by fishermen after they clean their catch. We left feeling unexpectedly refreshed and calm.
