Koonung Creek, in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, runs alongside the Eastern Freeway. Earthworks have exposed multi-hued rockfaces and strong diagonals of the rock strata. To better define the sharp-edged layers of stone, I have used a small palette knife.

Another ink and watercolour view of the narrow gauge steam engine which hauls open cars filled with laughing children through the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. I should explain that a “billy” is a metal pot with a handle, used mainly to boil water over a campfire. Loose leaf tea may be added, and the billy full of boiling water swung in a vertical circle at arm’s length to mix the contents.

Puffing Billy regularly plies the 2 foot gauge track through the hills east of Melbourne with its complement of children who delight in dangling their feet through the open sided wagons. The shrill whistle can be heard echoing through the eucalyptus shrouded hills as it wheezes slowly from Belgrave to Gembrook.

Pleasure boats lie at anchor in the azure waters of the southern part of Port Phillip at Portsea. A tall pine grows on the cliff side, looking down on the reef.

I must say that, in all my world travels, I have not seen a prettier view from a more lush clifftop in front of more expensive “beach houses” than from Portsea, near the entrance to Port Phillip in Victoria. This is the view towards Shelley Beach, with Arthur’s Seat on the horizon.
