“Wye River”
Recently we drove down the gorgeous Great Ocean Road. We passed through Lorne and continued on to Wye River, a small coastal town about 2.5 hours out of the city of Melbourne. It’s a great trip, given time as you can explore Geelong, Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne and many other seaside spots during the journey. We would actually recommend allowing several days to explore this section of the Great Ocean Road as there is so much to see and do. Wye River only has a population of around 70 but of course in the holiday seasons this grows dramatically. The Great Ocean Road was officially opened in 1932.

“Barwon Bridge”
The beautiful seaside towns of Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove are connected by the gorgeous Barwon Bridge. As you drive or walk over the bridge you get to take in views of the towns, the Barwon River and The Bluff. The bridge is the only crossing of the Barwon River between Geelong and the coast at this point. The river itself starts in the Otways and winds it way down to the beach here over 160 kilometres. The bridge was originally built in 1926/27 but was completely renewed in 2009/10. It includes a separate bridge for pedestrians, so is actually made up of two separate structures.

“Portarlington”
Another small town on the Bellarine Peninsula, past Geelong, is the lovely Portarlington. A great holiday spot for fisherman with this great marina full of fishing vessels. The town was possibly named after Portarlington in Ireland but this has never been confirmed. One year we stayed at the local caravan park with families from our street and had a great time exploring all the local beaches and amenities. It’s an easy spot to set off towards Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale or even across to Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove and Torquay areas.

“Aloft”
An hour out of Melbourne lies another small city, Geelong. Of late the coastal area of Geelong has come a long way with improvements to the waterfront being very noticeable to locals and tourists alike. It has beautiful views across the bay, sculpture, boardwalks, a carousel and an updated swimming enclosure. Eastern Beach swimming enclosure was the focal point of one of our recent artworks “Geelong” which you can find here. This top-down of a small jetty is in Rippleside, a small suburb found on the approach to Geelong from Melbourne.

“Golden Plains”
Well every year around this time, the canola fields start blossoming and make for such scenic views during a road trip. This field had us awestruck as we turned down a tiny gravel road outside of Geelong. We stopped and flew the drone in a terrific spot, only to go around another corner and be blown away yet again. Yellow from fence to fence! Drone photographers love this time of year and agricultural shots during Spring months in Melbourne can be absolutely gorgeous. Last years canola shot, “The grass is always greener” can also be seen here.

“Point Roadknight”
This week in Melbourne has been fairly cold, however Wednesday surprised us all with a beautiful sunny day. After delivering a print to a customer in Geelong we headed further down the coast, past Torquay and Point Addis, and reached Point Roadknight on the Southern side of Anglesea. The waves were huge and plenty a surfer was scrambling out to catch a ride. We used up three batteries catching various shots with the drone, including this one of the entire point shot from out at sea. The beaches around the Great Ocean Road are absolutely stunning and we never tire of visiting them..

“Aerial Abstraction”
The purpose of our drone flight here was to capture some beautifully abstract natural forms. Taken over a closed quarry we were excited to find these lovely colors and shapes after we took off. Clay, water, shrubs and more make up much of this shot. It is what it is, a purposely abstract natural image.

“Breaching”
Whenever I get the chance I love to drive towards the Surf Coast in Victoria. I live on the Western side of Melbourne so it’s an easy day trip for me. Between Geelong and Torquay there are lovely farmland areas often producing crops. This field of canola has caught my eye several times over the years, and was a perfect background for my very first artwork for this site. The whale was drawn later as a separate entity and I then combined and edited the photo and drawing to what you see now. The whale is purposely abstract with patterns you wouldn’t normally see on such whales, it is not meant to be realism.

“Making Tracks”
Whenever I get the chance I love to drive towards the Surf Coast in Victoria. I live on the Western side of Melbourne so it’s an easy day trip for me. Between Geelong and Torquay there are lovely farmland areas often producing crops. These fields were in Freshwater Creek and proved fantastic for some minimal artworks. I love the simplicity of the lines made in agriculture processes. This top-down is particularly minimal, I love the simplicity of the green lines. It occurred to me after I edited the shots that it could be something other than a machine that made the tracks. A shoal of fish came to mind, and I then decided on some sharks appearing to search for their next feed. I drew the sharks as separate entities and then combined them with the top-down drone photograph. The sharks are purposely abstract with patterns you wouldn’t normally see on such creatures, it is not meant to be realism. This artwork is purposely dark.

“In Formation”
Whenever I get the chance I love to drive towards the Surf Coast in Victoria. I live on the Western side of Melbourne so it’s an easy day trip for me. Between Geelong and Torquay there are lovely farmland areas often producing crops. These fields were in Freshwater Creek and proved fantastic for some minimal artworks. I love the simplicity of the lines made in agriculture processes, particularly as they diverge around a man made structure such as this small water reserve. I drew the whales as separate entities and then combined them with a top-down drone photograph. The whales are purposely abstract with patterns you wouldn’t normally see on such whales, it is not meant to be realism.
