Nothing like being on a deserted island with your favourite anarchist Brian Laver to make the Camp site story telling extra special! With Jack Thompson as his bodyguard during the Joh era protests, being black listed by the Joh police, supporting Kurdish women in their resistance fight and coaching Princes in tennis in Florida Brian has done it all! This trip was made possible through Moreton Experience and the wonderful Alan Genninges (Photo 5) who even sets up your tent and has over 35 years of personal experience and knowledge acquired while conducting camps on Moreton Island. We are so lucky to be so close to such paradise!!! #Mulgumpin #moretonexperience #moretonisland
I can’t believe I have never been to Mulgumpin - what an incredible paradise! So wild, and untouched, and stunning and no internet anywhere! Thank @cazuarina & @sandorilla for taking us on such a fun adventure and sharing all your favourite spots with us - it was such a treat!! #Mulgumpin Also thanks to the bloody legend Alan for making it so effortless! #moretonexperience #moretonisland

thoroughly enjoyed mentoring Yr11 art students over the weekend with my co-mentor artist @tishlinehanart The students were taught many new art techniques, were taken on guided walks and given talks about the ecology of the island, made land art in a beautiful little cove, swam, ate well and generally had a fun and very productive time. #moretonartcamps #moretonexperience #citipointe #longweekend #art #nature #inspiration #bluelagoonmoretonisland #moreton #moretonislandnationalpark #artstudents #wildernesscamping #artcamp

I'd hoped to fill the tangled-grass enclosure with rubbish thrown up by the tides .. fortunately there wasn't much rubbish in the few days I was at camp. Its above the high tide mark and I wonder if it will be visible when I get back in a few weeks. #moretonexperience #art #nature #inspiration #ephemeral #play #playingwithart #environmentalart #plastic #plasticfree #beachart #connection #collaborationswithnature #foundmaterials #notools #landart #landscapeart #creativity #environment #dontlitter #sand whale's #furball #dragon #oceanbeach #sandisland #moorgumpin #moretonisland #moretonislandnationalpark #campingnotglamping @shonawilsonartist Hi Shona 😊

Sometimes I lose faith in my little studies of nature but then I see a show like the #carolyndelzoppo exhibit at the #tweedregionalgallery and I remember the ups and downs are all part of the journey. I found the show to be a sensitive and honest expression of the often overlooked details in our natural world. @carolyn_delzoppo_art #smallthings #northernrivers #naturalart #artistsbooks #nature #insects #paper #drawing #art #naturalart #christmasbeetle #inspiration #colour #artistsretreat #casuarina #beachside #moth #moths #dianella #noisyfriarbird #banksia #moretonisland #moretonexperience #moreton #moretonislandnationalpark #moretonislandprotectioncommittee #nimbin #nimbinrocks

We enjoyed the amusing company of a #family of 4 bushcurlews at #camp over this past week. I wonder where the #teenagers will go when the #parents decide they're old enough to fend for themselves? Maybe they'll find mates and move to another neighbourhood along the #beach, in the #bush behind the #dunes. Oh, and I did some #art too. #wildlife #curlew #australiannativebirds #birds #wildernesscamping #moretonexperience #moorgumpin #mulgumpin #moreton #moretonislandnationalpark #southeastqueensland #wilderness #artretreat #mixedmedia

for my short course in natural history illustration I had to do field sketches of a bird or animal..
