Silly Galah

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:50:00 +0000

I put seed out as a treat for some of the locals which sometimes can lead to unpleasantries. Here a king parrot is telling a galah just how things stand.

Sonic

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:14:00 +0000

A typical small Queensland prawn trawler of the 1970’s. From memory I think Sonic was about 38-40 feet in length. Sadly I believe she came to grief on Flinders Reef off Moreton Island around about 1980.

Twilight

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:13:00 +0000

Nothing like punching into a short steep sea on your way to work for the night to get you wondering about some other way to make a dollar. You come back in the morning and see the traffic and people and hear the noise and that night you go straight back to sea again.

Fisherman

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:11:00 +0000

Quite simply a man at peace with the world. Should be more of it.

Crossing the Bar

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:08:00 +0000

I spent a good part of the 1970's working a trawler on the coast of Queensland and this part of the nights work often got the adrenalin flowing.

Nightshift

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:03:00 +0000

Working Moreton Bay at night with the lights of Brisbane as a backdrop to channel markers before the days of GPS sets and in my case without radar was always interesting.

Smokin'

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:15:00 +0000

You have to experience it to understand it but going quick with windpower is way more satisfying than with horsepower.

Journey's End

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:14:00 +0000

As a child I remember the family had a timber model of a tramp steamer about 3 feet long, complete with electric motor, hatches derricks the works... More than half a century has passed and I don't know what happened to her but her name was 'Tampico' which I kind of liked.

So I plastered 'Tampico' across the stern of this little yacht which could be my next office if I ever sell any paintings.

Waitoa Dreaming

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:13:00 +0000

I came across this ex-pearling lugger moored in Manly Harbour a while ago. I got to thinking how pleasant it would be standing in the shade watching the crew set things up as I set course for the reef.

Downwind

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:07:00 +0000

A figment of my imagination, (I have a lot of figments) this brave little vessel is running in behind a headland before the squall arrives her crew feeling the satisfying acceleration as the next swell passes under her stern.

Empress

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:04:00 +0000

A 30 x 10 centreboard sloop built on the pine river by a Mr. Dohle about 1912 and owned and sailed on Moreton Bay between 1920-1930 by a Mr. (Val) Slaughter of Bulimba, Brisbane.

The Slaughters were clients of my fathers and when her husband passed away Mrs. Slaughter gave my father a lovely scale model of Empress.

So here they are on Moreton Bay sometime in the 1920's. Mrs. Slaughter told my father she always seemed to be reefing the main and seeing it overhangs the counter by a good 8-9 feet she must have been a fairly sprightly lass.

Waterloo Bay - 1965

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:16:00 +0000

I was forward hand on Callisto (17) for several years until a job transfer sent me to North Queensland. Dad and elder brother made up the crew. A family friend did a beautiful job of building Yandina at home. Many years have passed and many different types of boats have passed through my hands but I can still feel Callisto‘s foredeck under my feet.

Sharpies - Waterloo Bay

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:15:00 +0000

My brother and I used to race a Gwen 12 and we always thought we were pretty fast. Then the fleet of lightweight sharpies who always started after us would slide by with that elegantly effortless ease that long narrow hulls all possess.

(Submission for IF - what better view than multiple sailing boats on the horizon? Thanks for stopping by!)

Lytton Reach

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:12:00 +0000

Two 18 footers racing upstream along Lytton Reach near the mouth of the Brisbane river before the mangroves gave way to container ships and security cameras.

What Next?

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:58:00 +0000

Unlike her sister Sam, Bindi knows she is a proper working dog and will round up anything with two or more legs even if I don’t want her to. This is the day she discovered the kangaroo's ability to leap over long grass, fallen trees, fences etc. Gives them a decidedly unfair advantage when push comes to shove.

Sam

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:57:00 +0000

Junior partner in my brace of dogs, Sam is a kelpie-collie-cross, supposedly the quintessential Aussie working dog only nobody told Sam and the only thing she ever wants to round up is a tennis ball!

RedBacked Fairy Wren

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:51:00 +0000

Probably the shyest of the wrens, at least in my neck of the woods, but there are several families in the long grass near my bottom grid. No bigger than your thumb they always stop you in your tracks when you see one.

Splendid Fairy Wren

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:51:00 +0000

I have never come across one of these little fellows on my side of the range but have come upon them on fairly regular trips I make to the west of the Great Divide.

Superb Fairy Wren

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:48:00 +0000

Probably the most gregarious wren, these beautiful little birds will often be hopping around your feet snapping up insects disturbed as you walk around the garden.

Lovely Fairy Wren

studio@galahouse.com (Honor Bowden) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 06:46:00 +0000

Saw one of these once on a trip to Cape York. He seemed a little peeved when I took his photo.
