Thread: Lipton

..Nice one Spring...I love putting together found things on the beach..
...just gotta make sure no-one is around watching a grownup play silly buggers..

Wonderful. Exactly the delight to run across on a wander down the beach.
Could be any one of several of my classmates from my 50th highschool reunion a couple of weeks back.

Oi think the answer lois in the soil!!

Well the dogs got a romp today. Amazingly no one on the beach on such a fine day, not even Lipton, Lipton has flown from the perch to who knows where. So I made Tetley

There gonna be the Tea family !
Nice !

Certainly steeped in history. Too bad there's always people who just can't leave well enough alone.

While these little escapades are by no means meant to be permanent as they're only picariously put together with things found on the beach I paid more attention to securing Tetley compared to Lipton. Although over the last month or so we've had some wild winds and rain, I doubt whether it would have been enough to break Tetley away. However, Tetley is gone leaving behind a little reminder.

Here's some stuff collected from four trips to various beaches around here and plonked on my bench in the shed.

Seems like a fairly poignant environmental statement right there. I can feel the vibrations from here. Looking forward to the visual when it materialises.

I'm thinking the hardest part will be keeping things as loose as Lipton and Tetley were.

Yeah, sort of, he also did thong totems too I think. It's not the look I'm after though, not that I know exactly what that is as yet and it'll change when I start shaping it up I suspect.

Went down a valley past Flinders and got electrified a couple of times by the same fence Picked up a coupla doz of unexpected cow rib bones along the way and made it to a stuff trap by the ocean I hadn't been to for about 25 years or so I gathered up an over flowing back pack full of stuff and there's prolly another million or so I left behind for another day

Love the pics! Where ever it is, it reminds me a lot of our own coast here at Waitpinga in SA. We've got 'stuff traps' too but getting to them is so arduous that the 'stuff' stays there, tantalizingly in sight at the bottom of 400 foot high cliffs, but out of reach.

It's roughly 3/4 between Flinders and Bushrangers bay in Victoria. Most of the creeks, which only constantly run in winter/Autumn and are very snakey the rest of the time, follow a path between basalt headlands like what can be seen in pic 2. The coves that they trickle out to are all stuff traps for the easterly water movement and nearly all have no sand beaches just rock then waves and some have some great rock pools and caves, oh and there's eels in the creeks

Love the work It is surprising the stuff that is laying/washed up on beaches. I have been travelling in Queensland for the last few months and visited/Camped at many of the beaches along the coast. have picked up a lot of rubbish but thrown it into the bin. Might have to keep some of it and see what I can create.
