Artist/Gallery notes
The tower of Winthrop Hall in the University of WA dominates this landscape of Matilda Bay. A place with so many memories. I used to take American visitors to the restaurant which is now the Matilda Bay Restaurant where we would eat on the open air deck and watch the pelicans soar over the river traffic and listen to the parrots in the nearby trees. They always fell in love with Perth at that place and many settled here. My daughter, Kyla, got married at Matilda Bay and I learnt to windsurf nearby. We used to trawl for crabs in the dusk in the phosphoresce of the river and eat them hot and fresh with a cast of wine sitting on the grass with lanterns and listening to the river.
