She is an artist and is particularly interested in the aspect of upholstering in hand painted scenes eg. Australiana; botanical; fine detailed collections of items such as shells, butterflies etc.

I suspect that this information you have so kindly provided, leads to a question, which is...?

Yeah, I forgot that bit

The question is:

Can anyone advise of any interesting woodworking galleries or workshops to visit along the way?

Don't know about galleries, but if you are passing Telegraph Point on the Pacific Highway, turn off at Tele Point, follow the road up to Rollands Plains, after around 15 KM turn left to Spokes Road, 21/2 km dirt road to Boutique Timbers, you will see some huge logs and a massive collection of cedar and rosewood timber. well worth the trip for a cup of tea and a chat.
