THE ARTISTIC TRAVELS OF AN AUSTRALIAN PAINTER

Jennifer Harnett's Australian Art Tour has come to an end... so has her stay in Lismore, Northern NSW.

"I have found some truly beautiful and awe inspiring places this trip, am very thankful for all the wonderful experiences I've had and look forward to the adventure continuing!"



The Farm - Barkers Vale, Northern NSW

Have arrived at the Farm in Barkers Vale, where I am staying with my girlfriend Jessica for the next month or so. Minimal telephone and internet reception, finances at another all time low… A great time to knuckle down, refocus, drink in the fresh country air and get to know the locals.

Already having some interesting adventures with some of the unconventional locals, human and otherwise… got bit by a territorial catfish, and the FROGS, the frogs are everywhere! Hanging out in the rainwater tank, singing us all to sleep, hopping through the house, hanging out at the kitchen window… all shapes & sizes, one as small as your smallest fingernail! A few flutter-bys, any number of leeches (it’s rare to see me out of my gum boots!), a few nasty bull ants roaming around and lets not forget the abundant mosquitoes, midges and ticks!

Got washed out of my campervan by rain a couple of days this first week, Mr.R has a few more leaks to fix than I first realized….
