Here
are some photos I took on the Coromandel bus trip on Saturday. It was a great
trip, very enjoyable for the big group of 47 people. Took over 3 hrs. to reach
Driving Creek which is a few miles from Coromandel township. Good to see the art
work during the train ride and also in the gallery near the train station. We
were privileged to be able to meet Barry Bricknell who is the engineer and
artist who spent over 30 yrs. building the railway. He is now 77yrs.old and
lives in his home attached to the gallery at Driving Creek. He allowed us all to
walk through his house (designed by Ron Sang) to see his recent art work-
pottery, glassware and paintings.
The
Waterworks park, which was located a few miles from Driving Creek, is a fun park
with many clever inventions and water features set up for the amusement of
children and adults alike. We enjoyed trying out the different activities after
having our lunch on site.
