A perfect morning yesterday, after the heat of the day before: sunny but breezy, and lots of interesting vistas to paint and draw!
The Palisade Hotel has been described as a ‘venerable old neck oilery’. Great
expression! It was fitting that we sketched
around there yesterday on the day that celebrations were taking place in
Albany, WA, to commemorate 100 years since the boarding of the first convoy of
Australian troops bound for war, as apparently The Palisade was where many of
Sydney's Anzacs downed their last beers before boarding ships bound for
Gallipoli!
