Gippsland Day Trip

While out for a drive to enjoy a warm sunny day we lunched at Caldermeade Farm and Cafe. The LARGE dairy cow on a stand at the entrance (South Gippsland Hwy) can't be missed and there is another giant cow statue on the premises! Established in the mid 1800s it offers entertainment, education and good food. Pity we couldn't stay to view the daily 2.30pm milking. 


The unpainted secondary sketch, map and text block were added at home. 








Here's the BIG cow on the premises... conveniently visible to sketch from the cafe!

A very quick stop at a favourite spot on the way home – the tiny township of Tooradin. I had sketched at this very spot in 2017. On that occasion it was low tide and you could see the mud flats with myriads of soldier crabs. (This region by the way hosts the largest area of White Mangrove south of the tropics). This time it was high tide. A man was feeding some pelicans nearby. No wonder a sculpture of a pelican has been added next to where I was sketching.
