for all things splorish...

A few weekends ago Mr Oratia and I ventured on a little mission down to the site of Splore


I wrapped my attempted cinnamon pinwheels into a picnic basket, and packed the billy for Mr Oratias necessary tea. With a hop, skip and jump we were headed south east to the sounds of Batucada…

My first time visiting the site of all things splorish, but for Mr Oratia, it was a sweet reunion with the park that was this time slightly less adorned.

We had come seeking inspiration, conversation and a prowl around the nooks  

We met with the creators and fellow art makers

A dawdle across the rocky beach tickled me into a peppery arty plan.

A sunny sit at the ‘lagoon’

A gulp of salty splorey air, 

We bid our farewells and headed to find a sheltered picnic spot.  

the goodies....

 We clambered down roots, and found a sheltered cove - not quite tinned biscuits nor lashings of ginger beer, but our fish and chips on the beach were delish! 

The cinnamon pinwheels & Mr Oratia were a bit disappointed I forgot the lighter to boil the billy, but the sun warmed us on the rocks where we lay, a-bubbling with ideas, from sea, to beach, to billy goat tracks...
