I’m a member of a ‘Plein Air’ painting group 

that goes to different sites 

around the Gold Coast once a month. 

It’s good to get together with other artists 

after 18 months of protection against Covid.

The Plein Air group went for four nights on an artists retreat to Boonah on the Northern side of the border ranges in Queensland.
I searched out the headwaters of the Logan River that flows down from Mt Barney to the Pacific Ocean at Stradbroke Island.

My Jan 2021 visit to the Border Ranges town of Kyogle. 

Not far from Mt Warning. 

I drove up the dirt road into the forest and started some drawings. 

Then came back to the Kyogle house where I stay as 

‘Artist in Residence’ to finish the drawings off.


the forest seems to go on forever
