Weeks 2 and 3 Great Ocean Road to Wilsons Promontory and beyond

Whoa, we’ve been on the road three weeks now and since the last posting we’ve held events in Ballarat, Healesville, Daylseford, Geelong, Inverloch, Echuca and Wadonga.  Between events, we’ve  had dedicated photographic shoots in the Yarra Ranges, Tipperary Springs, Cape Woollamai and Wilsons Promontory.  It’s hard to describe the grandeur, except through photos and we’ll be creating and uploading a gallery of the best over the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime, here’s a glimpse of some of the people we’ve connected with along the way.  For more images from the events, go to the event gallery link on the National Tour Main Page at http://michaelleggewilkinson.com.au/nationaltour.htm.

Week 1 From the Goldfields to the Great Ocean Road

From the Goldfields to the Great Ocean Road with exhibition events held in Port Lincoln (Grand Tasman), Port Augusta (Yarta Purtli Cultural Centre) and Warrnambool (Flying Horse Gallery and Brewery), we thank each and every community for welcoming us along the way.  Over 16 hours crossing the Nullabor, the Dream Bus didn't miss a beat (nor use any oil).  The Australian Landscape is the star and below is a glimpse.  Soon we'll upload a photo gallery to share the best with you and one of the key outcomes from the Tour will be a truly national product range of photos, paintings, prints and cards.  Getting set now for week 2 with events throughout regional Victoria and we're going to simplify the schedule again to free up more time for photography and film.  Apologies to everyone affected by schedule changes and to everyone in Tassie, we'll see you next year in April when we'll be able to spend more time on the Apple Isle and really make the crossing worthwhile.  This blog has been written at the cosy and beautifully situated Port Campbell Ocean House Backpackers.  Big thanks to owner, Tom McKenzie, for his great hospitality and service.
