On The Verandah

On The Verandah Art holidays and nature itineraries in The Kimberley, WA since 2013. (Also in TAS and Sthn WA)
(1)

We run creative residential workshops in the east Kimberley and Albany in Western Australia and also in Tasmania. On our Kimberley trips, you could be staying on a working cattle station or in an Aboriginal community. You'll travel through landscapes that are vast, diverse and incredibly beautiful in their wildness! You can join one of our art or nature itineraries or we can host your group of up

to 12 guests. Our mission is to bring together our knowledge and love of the Kimberley landscape and our network of interesting local people and professional tutors, to create for you an unforgettable experience of the Kimberley where you can immerse yourself in the landscape and lifestyle.

Debbie Mackinnon has taken her group of painters down to the cattleyards pandanus spring today. They are working in the concertina books they created yesterday: lots of shadows, reflections, contrast and interesting shapes to experiment with. They're achieving great results!

Debbie Mackinnon "Painting the Kimberley" workshop is under way! Participants are loosening up with mark making, simple colour palettes, mono printing and sketching out amongst the boabs. On site here at Diggers Rest Station near Wyndham in the far north east of WA.
This afternoon, we've packed the eskies with ice cold bubbles and will head out to the sunset spot for some panoramic views of the Cockburn Ranges.

It's almost 2 weeks since we farewelled our Kimberley Bird Week guests and we were just reflecting on what a fabulous time we had with them.

Over the seven days, we took our small group of 5 guests to many sites, none of them too far from our base at Digger's Rest Station.
Each night we did our E-bird counts and averaged 40 species a day, with a total for the week of 110!

Some of our favourite sightings were, of course, the stunning Gouldian Finches, and also, Purple Crowned Fairywrens, White Quilled Rock Pigeons, Australian Bustards, Australian Pratincoles, Sandstone Shrikethrush, Spotted Harriers, Brahminy Kite (in the abandoned pub), Pictorella Mannikin (munia), Long Tailed Finches, Masked Finches, Star Finches, Red capped plovers, Red winged Parrots, Red Backed Fairywrens, Plumed Egrets, Azure Kingfishers, Blue winged Kookaburras, Australian Hobby, Brown Goshawk, Great Bowerbirds, Rufous Songlark, Buff Sided Robin, Leaden and Paperbark Flycatchers and one of our most regular sightings - White Bellied Sea Eagles.

We are so looking forward to the 2027 Kimberley Bird trip and are in talks to include a location with the Yellow Chat!
