We meet at Stanwell Park and walk between 45 – 60 mins to the top of the escarpment along part of the Wodi Wodi track. Once at the top we have two hours to draw and enjoy a BYO picnic lunch.  We leave the top of the hill at 2pm.

  • Food & snacks

  • Art gear

    • Knife

Walk 1 / Stanwell Park Beach Reserve

Sunday 24 March 2019
10am – 2pm / 3 hours drawing
$60

Book online here.

We can meet at Stanwell Park Beach Reserve that has plenty of shade along with facilities, including parking, bathrooms, and a brand new cafe.

There are plenty of aspects to choose from including beach & ocean scenes, village houses, creeks, trees & open space. We can have a picnic lunch in the shade or buy lunch from the cafe. It’s a relaxed session where we can officially draw or paint for three hours, intertwined with food and relaxation.
The train departs from Central at 8.29am stopping at Redfern, Wolli Creek, Hurstville, Sutherland, Waterfall, Helensburgh, Otford, and then arrives at Stanwell Park at 9.34am.  Go to Trip Planner here for train timetables.  From the station it’s a 10 minute walk to the local cafes and then another 5- 10 minutes to the reserve,  all downhill.

It takes about 90 minutes to drive from Sydney CBD along the freeway. Longer if you drive through the Royal National Park.

Location maps are provided once payment is made online here.
