The great 100 foot Karri trees arch over my head, my heart jumps a beat. I am breathless with the beauty of the Boranup Forest and instantly make plans to return to walk amongst the trees and make sketches to create a new series of works.
Boranup is a small outreach of Karri Forest in the Leeuwin-National Park. In Wardandi Noongar, the name means place of male dingo. The dingoes are long gone, but the Karri trees remain.
The journey and narrative continues ……
