I drove to Yea, 1.5 hour drive north east of Melbourne, this afternoon.
It's a very scenic drive particularly from Yarra Glen along Melba Hwy.
After lunch, I set up easel here, looking towards Shire Hall.

It was very peaceful. I spent 2 hours.

Oil on panel. 12x16 in.
There's a very modern Tourist Information Centre across the street, and I asked a man about some place I can go and paint.
It was already 4pm, so I decided to go to the nearest one, that was 'Killingworth Rd'. It sounds very intimidating, though.
As it turned out, it was a beautiful area, sinuous contours of hills and mountains appearing one after another.
I set up my easel here at Goulburn River Pump Station.

Again, it was very quiet, I could hear nothing but buzzing flies. Very annoying. One of them got stuck in my nostril!
I spent 2.5 hours. I forgot to put cows in the field :(

I liked the area a lot. The town itself isn't that charming, but, I'd like to explore its surroundings in the near future.
It was a great day.
