Art Appreciation Group

Tracey Robert’s gallery/dome house Olinda

Friday, May 27,

Destination: Tracey Robert’s gallery/dome house Olinda

Tracey is a well-known musician/artist

Tracy explained how her music inspires her artwork.

As an extra treat, Tracey played a few songs on her grand piano.

The group headed for Olinda for lunch & a wander around the craft shops.

Our Art Appreciation visit to Tracey Robert’s dome house/gallery today was memorable indeed. What a great musician/artist Tracey is.

Bushwalking

Lynne Moller provided the following:

Our monthly U3A Casey 10km bushwalk took us to Birdland Reserve, Belgrave and parts of Lysterfield and Churchill parks.
The weather was lovely but a bit humid as we mastered some steep inclines.
The views were worth it; huge granite boulders, farmland and views over the city.
